Lyrics
Smokes her last cigarette
And offers the pack
In a world that's not giving
She won't get it back
Her beauty is not fulfilling
Science lifts her skin
She has a face of youth
But the years lay within
And you take her on home
But you don't, don't know the tale
There is an image of angels
That develop pure hell
Take me home
I've fought
Enough of this war
My soul has been bought
White flag I wave
I've had enough of this war
I'll fight again another day
The girl has got a beauty
Only matched by her grace
But time hasn't weathered
The lines on her face
You're thinking back
To where it all began
But when it's half for the wine
You forget lost plans
And you take her on home
But you don't, don't know the tale
There is an image of angels
That develop pure hell
Take me home
I've fought
Enough of this war
My soul has been bought
White flag I wave
I've had enough of this war
I'll fight again another day
And you take her on home
But you don't, don't know the tale
There is an image of angels
That develop pure hell
