Civil War Lyrics - Joan Baez

I don't know you to wear a hat 

But I came home late, and there it sat 

You rose to show what hats are for 

When living through a civil war 

When living through a civil war 

Christmas mornings and New Years Days 

They flood with dreams and they drift away 

They cling to logs and cupboard doors 

Riding out this civil war 

Riding out this civil war

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

Two fighters came and we pitched a tent 

And everyone around here, we went 

The fix was in, but we bet and we swore 

From both sides of a civil war 

We build this up and we knock this down 

We call our little mob a town 

We nail a sign above the door 

God bless our little civil war 

God bless our little civil war 

Three dogs at a party on a boat at night 

Play checkers in a lantern light 

They sing a song out to the shore 

Of women, gold, and civil war 

Every truth carries blame 

Photos 

And every light reveals some shame 

Progress rides with thieves and whores 

The stowaways of civil war 

The stowaways of civil war
