lyrics
As I sat beneath a willow tree in Durham Park
I wondered how I'd ever pick back up where you left off.
Yeah, another break-up notch on this old love-worn belt,
I know it's just day two, but it's the worst I've ever felt.
Must be ten-thousand miles between here and forgiveness,
and I'm sick and I'm so tired so I walk two miles and rest.
I know you'll wake up one day wishing for these old hands.
Don't come 'round this time next year looking for your second chance.
And I don't want what you don't want to give,
that's not the way it works.
I'm no more broken now than I was then.
I've come through worse.
Still I can't think about the future --
day to day is so hard,
but don't you worry none about this,
this broken heart.
Well, honey, I guess I realize this is goodbye,
but please don't read between the lines if you don't see me cry.
Oh I barely have the strength to pack up one more time,
and I mean it when I tell you that this time it's the last time.
I know you'll miss these hands and what these old hands can do,
but maybe they'll hold my temper since they won't be holding you.
I think love's a two-way-mirror or something kind of like that --
I can't see you, but I swear, I feel you on the other side loving back.
And I don't want what you don't want to give,
that's not the way it works.
I'm no more broken now than I was then.
I've come through worse.
Still I can't think about the future --
day to day is so hard,
but don't you worry none about this,
this broken heart.
I said, 'oh no, how did I end up back here?'
It must be ten-thousand miles between here and forgiveness,
and I'm sick and I'm so tired so I walk two miles and rest.
And I said, 'oh no, I don't want to be in love alone without you.'
And I don't want what you don't want to give,
that's not the way it works.
I'm no more broken now than I was then.
I've come through worse.
Still I can't think about the future --
day to day is so hard,
but don't you worry none about this,
this broken heart
and these old hands
this broken heart
and these old hands
this broken heart.

These songs are the kind of gems that rarely come about for anyone without a long practice of songwriting. The language of the lyrics is always original, connecting commonly felt things in new ways. The music, delivery, and band are perfect vehicles for these wonderful songs. pdxshinn

Powerful collection rooted in the stories that must be re-told. Played by some of the most generous community music people I’ve met during my foray into Old Time music.
This CD is a keeper! Ellen B. (Elly) Marshall

Wow. One of those rare instant-impact albums. I came to it the "wrong" way round, already familiar with Allison's outstanding Outside Child - one of the finest albums of the past 12 months.
And it's in the same plane - albeit different from her solo masterpiece, though with many similar characteristics, such as on Travelers and Roisin Starchild.
Love in Wartime hits so many peaks - in musicianship, lyrics, genres and especially melody. Neville Dalton

Long time follower of Mark's work. I know every album is stellar without question. This album is no different,but even better if that is possible. Love it! norm tandberg

The instrumentation and songwriting in this album is really top-tier. Aofie is one of my favorite folk/alt-country artists and she performs wonderfully, bringing her unique tone of voice to this project. This album was my first step into Aofie's artistry, and is firmly one of my favorite albums. rileyridgway
