In A While Lyrics

In A While lyrics

You keep his picture close beside you

It's girlish wishes that never came true

But the pony you wanted when you were a child

Is dead in the ground by now



You bring the bar home and the smell of your hair

It wilts the flowers that your girlhood put there

You're disappointed before you lay your head down

You're tired of your life in this town



In a while nothing will hurt anymore

And the hall light won't wake you behind a close door

Everyone cries and everything dies

In a while, in a while, in a while

In a while, in a while, in a while



Can praying save you as you wait by the phone?

It didn't seem to, 'cause you're still alone

And your little girl wishes one thing as a dime

Nobody can help you this time



But in a while nothing will hurt anymore

And the hall light won't wake you behind a close door

Everyone cries and everything dies

In a while, in a while, in a while

In a while, in a while, in a while



It's horses and hay and lovers hold sway

Giving yourself away

The devils and graves and pink toes and paints

And soldiers to say lullabies, high



In a while nothing will hurt anymore

And the hall light won't wake you behind a close door

Everyone cries and everything dies

In a while, in a while, in a while

In a while, in a while, in a while
