Portraits From Before the War

歌詞

I'm looking for a crack in the door A way to travel back to how we were before But time travel isn't what it used to be And you're stuck staring at these portraits of you and me Portraits from before the war Before the smoky clouds rolled in and left us Soot-stained and brought the wolves to your door And now you're out drinking with them But I see no happiness in that crowd's crooked grin Come back to the fire, it's not so bad And difficult regrets are easily had Like all goodwill, this was a fad Yeah, this was a fad We waste a lot of things around here We waste a lot of things around here Well these are cheap tears Now I'm looking for a crack in the door Stuffing it with blankets and winter clothes That you won't wear anymore Saying 'Stoke the stove, you lazy one' Feed it with with molding and with the floor Let the neighbors see the naked body they've been asking for 'Cause maybe then we'll see it too And rewrite our own history Solve the heart and cure the flu And paint a brand-new portrait of you and me You know, one rusty rain and all your flowers go bad And difficult regrets are easily had Like all goodwill, this was a fad Yeah, this was a fad We waste a lot of things around here We waste a lot of things around here Well these are cheap tears We waste a lot of things around here Well these are cheap tears We waste a lot of things around here We waste a lot of things around here We waste a lot of things around here We waste a lot of things around here We waste a lot of things around here
