[Verse 1]
She s a war surplus baby from Salvation s Army
She plays tambourine and wants to be a star
She stepped out of the Sixties
From a dream world to fix these
Broken promises I play on my guitar
[Chorus]
And we made it through somehow
For the bad and good
She always knew we would, you see
She believes
[Verse 2]
in miracles and romance,
In learning how to slow dance
In sacrifice, in freedom, and in pain
Yes, she believes in magic
And she tells me the tragic side of
something beautiful that never ends in vain
[Bridge]
Barefoot in sadness
Bell bottom eyes
We did what need to be done
So we marched all the marches
Ended all the wars
All the time believing that we won
[Verse 3]
Don t the times keep on changing
The stakes get much higher
It s out of the frying pan into the fire
[Chorus]
And we made it through somehow
For the bad and good
She always knew we would
She still believes
[Verse 4]
In love in the morning
And love when you need it
If your soul gets hungry you ve got to feed it
She s a war surplus treasure
Her peace is her pleasure
In spite of all this madness
Life Goes On
