You Were The Devil - Nicole Atkins

I wake in the morning, eyes open

They burn like they’ve never been closed

Heart beats loud like a thousand drummers

Mother, will I explode?

War is hell, our civil one

War is hell, be civil love, and,

Leave me never to wound you

Find me when calm comes to you

And hold me in your arms

This civil war of ours

Leave from the city at seven or eight

And listen to talk radio

All the stories so familiar

Mother, will I explode?

Back to my town where the wolves are waiting

Priming away in the dusk

Every hour contemplating love, trust, anger, lust

War is hell, our civil one

War is hell, be civil love, and,

Leave me never to wound you

Find me when calm comes to you

And hold me in your arms

This civil war of ours

And hold me in your arms, this civil war of ours

Leave me never to wound you

Find me when calm comes to you

And hold me in your arms, this civil war of ours

And hold me in your arms, this civil war of ours
