Lyrics
Valentine
Copyright * 2004 Urban * 970-247-9617
She ain?t got a Valentine no more,
all she?s got is memories so long before
the tragedies of this damn war.
Six long months she?s been alone,
no ringin? telephone, no arms to hold her in the night,
no dream to light to make things right.
She ain?t got a Valentine no more.
She ain?t got a Valentine no more,
there ain?t no way to keep the score of who?s been lost
or what?s been found, just look around.
Seems like eternity since he?s been gone,
now right is wrong and wrong is right,
she don?t know if night is day or day is night.
She ain?t got a Valentine no more.
She ain?t got a Valentine no more.
She?s movin? on to where the sun is risin?
on some other new horizon.
Love it or leave it?s what they say,
she wants to turn away from all the sorrow and defeat
and all the lies and deceit;
she ain?t got a Valentine no more.
She ain?t got a Valentine no more.
They say all?s fair in love and war,
she don?t believe it?s true, do you?
\ She ain?t got a Valentine no more.
They say all?s fair in love and war,
she don?t believe it?s true,
worlds collide in mystery, bordered by geography,
governed by mythology, led by mediocrity,
stupidity, hypocracy, mediocrity.
She ain?t got a Valentine no more.
