《Love Wore A Halo (Back Before The War) (Album Version)》歌词

[00:00:00] Love Wore A Halo (Back Before The War) (Album Version) - Nanci Griffith

[00:00:12] He owned a hotel on Jersey shore

[00:00:17] She made her living seeing

[00:00:19] The sailors door to door

[00:00:23] He was a small Hawaiian

[00:00:26] With a crooked smile

[00:00:28] But he made her eyes light up

[00:00:30] Like the heavens on the Fourth of July

[00:00:34] She ran the numbers

[00:00:36] They say she ran them clean

[00:00:39] Those porcelain hands keep a ledger

[00:00:42] Even in her sleeves

[00:00:45] While he worked the See-Bees

[00:00:48] In the Phillipines

[00:00:50] They say she made more money

[00:00:52] Than you and I will ever see

[00:00:56] Cause love was a magnet on the Jersey shore

[00:01:01] If you were looking for love boys

[00:01:03] You could have found it in '44

[00:01:07] Cause love wore a halo back before the war

[00:01:13] When the men loved the women

[00:01:15] And the women knew what men were for

[00:01:24] It was in the winter when he came home

[00:01:29] And he had to hold those porcelain hands

[00:01:32] Just to keep her warm

[00:01:35] So they had a daughter

[00:01:37] Her name was Stephanie Anne

[00:01:40] They sent her off to Vasser

[00:01:42] To find herself a family man

[00:01:46] Cause love was a magnet on the Jersey shore

[00:01:51] If you were looking for love boys

[00:01:53] You could have found it in '44

[00:01:57] Cause love wore a halo back before the war

[00:02:03] When the men loved the women

[00:02:04] And the women knew what men were for

[00:02:20] She sold the hotel; it belongs to me

[00:02:25] And I watch those sailors come

[00:02:27] And go by the waves in the sea

[00:02:31] From the poor chaps in the honeymoon suite

[00:02:36] And I hear them fishing their lives

[00:02:38] Away in the Florida Keys

[00:02:42] Cause love was a magnet on the Jersey shore

[00:02:47] If you were looking for love boys

[00:02:49] You could have found it in '44

[00:02:53] Cause love wore a halo back before the war

[00:02:58] When the men loved the women

[00:03:00] And the women knew what men were for

[00:03:04] When the men loved the women

[00:03:06] And the women knew what men were for

[00:03:10] When the men loved the women

[00:03:11] And the women knew what men were for
