lyrics
Before we start to fall apart
Before we leave for unknown parts I will
Make good and settle the bill
You pulled me out of the tiger's mouth
You cleaned me up and turned me round to face
The burdens that I could not face
The Gods above are making love
Throwing thunder and causing floods to wreck
The towers that we erect
Language tries to pacify
Even when are tongues are tied we go
On talking of what we know
Talking while exchanging blows
War love, war love is that all it really was
A war love, a war love
Between the breath of seconds stretched
Beneath the sky's big blue dress you stand
Frozen as the night watchman's hands
Guarding what alone you trust
Upon the shelf beneath the dust that lines
The pasture of your mind
The pasture where your secrets reside
War love, war love is that all it really was
A war love, a war love
Lovers lie with legs intwined
Letting off the heat inside their guns
Unloading into the sun
Fevers flare over bodies bare
Coughing in the cup they share in hope
To keep their love afloat
To keep it from going broke
War love, war love is that all it really was
A war love, a war love

This is becoming one of my all-time favorite live albums. Outstanding setlist of some of her best songs, the band on point, and just a beautiful performance. jae

The sweetness of the harmony and beauty of the tracks made me have to purchase this album. The vocals float like ethereal sprites with compelling warmness yet a certain captivating sadness as well. This is what Americana should sound like... this is what country should sound like... for it's so real and emotionally delivered... yet absolutely gorgeous. theexplodingogre
