[00:00.84]When The War Began - Pearls Before Swine
[00:12.69]When the war began,
[00:15.07]
[00:16.44]she worked in an office and
[00:19.25]played the violin on her own time
[00:24.74]
[00:26.24]But the winter came in on marching feet,
[00:31.91]she met him and was gone
[00:38.78]He was gallant, he was fine
[00:43.33]Turned the summer days to wine
[00:51.26]
[01:05.05]She came from a small town near Turino
[01:11.03]
[01:13.15]She wore a white dress
[01:16.33]and the church was very large
[01:20.39]
[01:22.45]In the town square a garden grew
[01:27.38]flowers that could push even through the snow
[01:34.99]
[01:35.62]And like the flowers she was free
[01:41.73]
[01:42.60]She had no one to please
[01:50.22]
[02:03.51]The summer passed away,
[02:07.88]he was called to the front
[02:10.19]Wrote two letters but no more
[02:16.55]His child she could feel,
[02:21.11]but did not allow herself to have
[02:26.10]
[02:28.41]And she remembered in the
[02:32.28]night a little girl in white
[02:56.49]The war stood like a cloud
[02:59.55]
[03:00.36]with many brave officers
[03:02.16]and she knew them all
[03:08.09]
[03:08.65]But their gallant white horses
[03:11.29]grew muddy and gray
[03:15.64]
[03:17.64]And in the garden in the town
[03:22.69]
[03:23.39]Marching soldiers pushed the flowers down
[03:32.18]
[03:45.36]The war came to an end and
[03:50.21]there were no longer summer days or wine
[03:58.26]And she worked in an office but
[04:01.32]did not play the violin on her own time
[04:22.42]
