Текст песни Love Wore A Halo (Back Before The War) - Emmylou Harris

She owned a hotel, on the Jersey shore
She made her living, sending sailors door to door
He was the small one, with a crooked smile
Oh, but he made her eyes light up
Like the heavens, on the fourth of July

She ran the numbers, say, she ran 'em clean
And those porcelain hands
Could keep a ledger, even in her sleep
Father was a Seabee, in the Philippines
They say she made more money
Than you or I, will ever see

Love was an anchor, on the Jersey shore
If you were looking for love, boys
You could've found it in '44
'Cause love wore a halo, back before the war
When the men, loved the women
And the women knew, what men were for

It was in the winter, when he came back home
He had to hold those porcelain hands
Just to keep her warm
So, they had a daughter
They named her Stephanie Anne
Hey, they sent her off, to Vassar
To find herself, a family man

Now, she sold the hotel, it belongs to me
I watch those sailors, come and go
Like the waves, in the sea
I hung their portraits up
In the honeymoon suite
I hear, they're fishin' their lives away
Down in the Florida Keys

Love was an anchor, on the Jersey shore
If you were looking for love, boys
You could've found it in '44
'Cause love wore a halo, back before the war
When the men, loved the women
And the women knew, what men were for

Yeah, love was an anchor, on the Jersey shore
If you were looking for love, boys
You could've found it in '44
'Cause love wore a halo, back before the war, (Before the war)
When the men, loved the women
And the women knew, what men were for

When the men, loved the women
And the women, knew what men were for
Yeah, when the men, loved the women
And the women knew, what men were for
