Nanci Griffith - Battlefield lyrics

(Nick Lowe - Paul Carrack) I live on a battlefield Surrounded by the ruins of a love we built And then destroyed between us, the smoke has cleared As I stumble through the rubble, I'm dazed and seein' double And I'm truly mystified My new home is a shell-hole Filled with tears and muddy water And bits of broken heart All around there is desolation And scenes of devastation Of a love being torn apart I live on a battlefield I live on a battlefield I live on a battlefield The one where not one single drop of Blood has spilled Is no less horrifying, sweet memmories Of a bygone situation Now shattered, Lord and battered Lies scattered all around My new home is a shell-hole Filled with tears and muddy water Yes, and bits of broken heart All around there is desolation And scenes of devastation Of a love being torn apart I live on a battlefield I live on a battlefield I live on a battlefield Everything that can and has gone wrong (I live on a battlefield) It's gonna take spine to carry on (I live on a battlefield) Like a drownin' man comin' up for air (I live on a battlefield) I'm looking for another survivor But I can't see one anywhere My new home (My home is filled with muddy water) All around (All around, there's bit of broken heart) My world (My world) Is one of desolation, and scenes of devastation There is no consolation, for a love been torn apart I live on a battlefield I live on a battlefield, battlefield I live on a battlefield (My home is filled with muddy water) I live on a battlefield, battlefield I live on a battlefield (All around, there's bits of broken heart) I live on a battlefield, battlefield I live on a battlefield (My home is filled with muddy water)
