In A While Lyrics - Singles - Caitlin Cary

You keep his picture close beside you 

It's girlish wishes that never came true 

But the pony you wanted when you were a child 

Is dead in the ground by now 

You bring the bar home and the smell of your hair 

It wilts the flowers that your girlhood put there 

You're disappointed before you lay your head down 

You're tired of your life in this town 

In a while nothing will hurt anymore 

And the hall light won't wake you behind a close door 

Everyone cries and everything dies 

In a while, in a while, in a while 

In a while, in a while, in a while 

Can praying save you as you wait by the phone? 

It didn't seem to, 'cause you're still alone 

And your little girl wishes one thing as a dime 

Nobody can help you this time 

But in a while nothing will hurt anymore 

And the hall light won't wake you behind a close door 

Everyone cries and everything dies 

In a while, in a while, in a while 

In a while, in a while, in a while 

It's horses and hay and lovers hold sway 

Giving yourself away 

The devils and graves and pink toes and paints 

And soldiers to say lullabies, high 

In a while nothing will hurt anymore 

And the hall light won't wake you behind a close door 

Everyone cries and everything dies 

In a while, in a while, in a while 

In a while, in a while, in a while
