French For Rabbits - Your Halo Lyrics

It was on October 23rd, the day your brother was deferred.
I kept every one of them, the notes we scribbled in the back den.
Our life was simple then, drowsy hours while the adults reminisce
of times long gone, times we were yet to live.
Rain drops on the roof and autumn passed by,
8 years old and counting down the hours.
Watching the lightening split through the sky
from the back porch where I used to see you cry.

Your halo was so low, back then I was too young to know,
Your halo was so low, back then we should have known it wouldn't end well.

Once I saw you with a black eye on your face,
but you said there was no reason to complain.

Your halo was so low, back then I was too young to know.
Your halo was so low, back then we should have known, it wouldn't end well.
