Testo After the War - Tim Birchard
Testo della canzone After the War (Tim Birchard), tratta dall'album The Ballad of Kelli Rae
Two brothers married two sisters
Right after the end of the war
Two brothers married two sisters
How many in love? just 3 of the 4
One of the sisters took a look at her mister
And started praying to heaven above
"Oh Heavenly Father, if it ain't too much bother
Please set me free, cuz I ain't in love"
I've got my whole life ahead of me
I aim to make it count
Sweet Baby Jesus, don't you make me do this
But the sky looked on without a sound
Six children later, she couldn't make him hate her
But she finally won, and his heart was broke
He took a lover, then he ran for cover
But the fire was lit, and it was making smoke
I've got my whole life ahead of me
I aim to make it count
Sweet Baby Jesus, don't you make me do this
But the sky looked on without a sound
Out with his brother, drinking his whiskey
Shooting out the street lights, and coming home late
Too drunk to feel the cold shotgun steel
That's the night my grandpa met his fate
Out here in the valley it's nice and peaceful
With flowers blooming and birds that sing
I set my whiskey on grandma's headstone
Thats just the way the cold rope swings
Two brothers married two sisters
Right after the end of the war
Two brothers married two sisters
How many in love? just 3 of the 4
I've got my whole life ahead of me
I aim to make it count
Sweet Baby Jesus, don't you make me do this
But the sky looked on without a sound
