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

She owned a hotel[00:00:12]

On the Jersey shore[00:00:14]

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

Sailors door to door[00:00:19]

He was the small one[00:00:23]

With a crooked smile[00:00:25]

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

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

She ran the numbers[00:00:34]

They say she ran 'em clean[00:00:36]

Those porcelain hands[00:00:39]

Keep a ledger even in her sleep[00:00:41]

While he worked the[00:00:45]

Seabees in the Philippines[00:00:46]

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

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

Love was an anchor on the Jersey shore[00:00:56]

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

You could've found it in forty-four[00:01:03]

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

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

And the women knew what men were for[00:01:14]

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

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

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

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

They named her Stephanie Anne[00:01:37]

Hey they sent her off to Vassar[00:01:40]

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

Love was an anchor on the Jersey shore[00:01:46]

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

You could've found it in forty-four[00:01:53]

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

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

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

She sold the hotel it belongs to me[00:02:19]

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

And go like the waves in the seas[00:02:26]

I've hung their portraits[00:02:30]

In the honeyoon suite[00:02:33]

And I hear they're fishin' their[00:02:36]

Lives away in the Florida Keys[00:02:37]

Love was an anchor on the Jersey shore[00:02:42]

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

You could've found it in forty-four[00:02:49]

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

When the men loved the women[00:02:59]

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

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

And the women knew what men were for[00:03:05]

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

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