Twenty Years (The Civil Wars)


There's a note underneath your front doorThat I wrote twenty years agoYellow paper and a faded pictureAnd a secret, in an envelope
There's no reasonsNo excusesThere's no secondhand alibisJust some black ink, on some blue linesAnd a shadow, you won't recognize
And if it means I'll be waiting twenty yearsAnd twenty moreI'll be praying for redemptionAnd your note, underneath my doorAnd your note underneath my door

Our cover of a sad love story written by the south/north Civil Wars duo whose combination of many of the binaries that make up the USA generated much creative tension and some wonderful songs before they broke up. Maz's vocal strikes just the right note of lost innocence.
