Never War

by Sam Rosolina

Genre: Folk

Lyrics

Ain’t nothing for you
In his arms anymore
Lovin’ is hard work, but it ain’t war

He walks right through you
Keeps his eyes on the floor
Lovin’ is hard work, but it ain’t war

Don’t let him tell you that you’re nailed down
It’s been ten long years since your feet left the ground

He stole your warm heart
Never asking you
He traded your white dress for black and blue

He painted a good life
Made the world feel new
Then traded your white dress for black and blue

Leave before the storms the evening brings
Hold fast to the hope of the hymns you sing

I’ve seen your face shine
It shines no more
Lovin’ in hard work, but it ain’t war

I know your pure soul
It deserves so much more
Lovin’ is hard work, but it ain’t war

True love is hard work
Never war.
