When The War Began - Pearls Before Swine[00:00:00]
When the war began [00:00:12]
She worked in an office and[00:00:16]
Played the violin on her own time[00:00:19]
But the winter came in on marching feet [00:00:26]
She met him and was gone[00:00:31]
He was gallant he was fine[00:00:38]
Turned the summer days to wine[00:00:43]
She came from a small town near Turino[00:01:05]
She wore a white dress[00:01:13]
And the church was very large[00:01:16]
In the town square a garden grew[00:01:22]
Flowers that could push even through the snow[00:01:27]
And like the flowers she was free[00:01:35]
She had no one to please[00:01:42]
The summer passed away [00:02:03]
He was called to the front[00:02:07]
Wrote two letters but no more[00:02:10]
His child she could feel [00:02:16]
But did not allow herself to have[00:02:21]
And she remembered in the[00:02:28]
Night a little girl in white[00:02:32]
The war stood like a cloud[00:02:56]
With many brave officers[00:03:00]
And she knew them all[00:03:02]
But their gallant white horses[00:03:08]
Grew muddy and gray[00:03:11]
And in the garden in the town[00:03:17]
Marching soldiers pushed the flowers down[00:03:23]
The war came to an end and[00:03:45]
There were no longer summer days or wine[00:03:50]
And she worked in an office but[00:03:58]
Did not play the violin on her own time[00:04:01]
