[00:00.00]When the War Began - Pearls Before Swine
[00:12.69]When the war began
[00:16.44]She worked in an office and
[00:19.25]Played the violin on her own time
[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
[01:05.05]She came from a small town near Turino
[01:13.15]She wore a white dress
[01:16.33]And the church was very large
[01:22.45]In the town square a garden grew
[01:27.38]Flowers that could push even through the snow
[01:35.62]And like the flowers she was free
[01:42.60]She had no one to please
[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
[02:28.41]And she remembered in the
[02:32.28]Night a little girl in white
[02:56.49]The war stood like a cloud
[03:00.36]With many brave officers
[03:02.16]And she knew them all
[03:08.65]But their gallant white horses
[03:11.29]Grew muddy and gray
[03:17.64]And in the garden in the town
[03:23.39]Marching soldiers pushed the flowers down
[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
