The civil wars 20 years lyrics

• There's a note underneath your front door
  That I wrote twenty years ago
  Yellow paper and a faded picture
  And a secret, in an envelope

  There's no reasons
  No excuses
  There's no secondhand alibis
  Just some black ink, on some blue lines
  And a shadow, you won't recognize

  Mmm
  Mmm

  And if it means I'll be waiting twenty years
  And twenty more
  I'll be praying for redemption
  And your note, underneath my door
  And your note underneath my door Writer/s: JOHN WHITE, JOY WILLIAMS

The Civil Wars 20 Years

Composer：Joy Williams、John Paul White

There's a note underneath your front door
That I wrote twenty years ago
Yellow paper and a faded picture
And a secret in an envelope

There's no reasons, no excuses
There's no second-hand alibis
Just some black ink on some blue lines
And a shadow you won't recognize

In the meantime, I'll be waiting
For twenty years and twenty more
I'll be praying for redemption
And your note underneath my door
And your note underneath my door

The Civil Wars

The Civil Wars is a duo composed of singer-songwriters Joy Williams and John Paul White. The two met during a Nashville, Tennessee songwriting session in 2008. After releasing a live performance album and a four song EP, their full length album, Barton Hollow, was released in 2011. The band won the Grammy Award for Best Country Duo/Group Performance and Best Folk Album in 2012. On November 6, 2012, the group announced that it was "unable to continue as a touring entity" because of "internal discord and irreconcilable differences of ambition". more »
