Carrie Elkin - Year Before the War lyrics

rate me

Somehow my Helen died

A year before the war

So I drank up

And I married Claire

But it don’t much matter anymore

Cause I can’t take a picture

These old eyes are worn

They’re worn

I’ve lied to myself before

And I guess that’s like lying to god

But I loved her before I loved you

And there’s something to be said

For the first wife that’s dead

And I can’t take a picture

These old eyes are worn

No I can’t take a picture these old eyes are worn

But on with this life

You can cut me

Where I used to shine

I look dull around the edges

But I’m doing fine

I’m going fine

I can’t take a picture

These old eyes are worn.
