Nanci Griffith - Love Wore A Halo (Back Before The War) Lyrics (Nanci Griffith) 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, he made her eyes light up like the heavens on the fourth of July She ran the numbers they say she ran 'em clean Those porcelain hands could keep a ledger even in her sleep While he worked the Seabees in the Philippines They say she made more money than you or I will ever see Chorus Love was an anchor on the Jersey shore If you were looking for love, boys, you could've found it in forty-four 'Cuz 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 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 Chorus Now, she sold the hotel it belongs to me I watch those sailors come and go like the waves in the seas I've hung their portraits in the honeyoon suite I hear they're fishin' their lives away in the Florida Keys Chorus |
