The Hundred Years War (Live) by Jake Dilley & The Color Pharmacy

The first place we stayed on The Color Pharmacy‘s first national tour in 2009
was a small farm just outside of Chicago, Illinois.  The property included
this one-room house that was built during the Civil War.

The Last Hundred Years War is from the Detour EP.

Lyrics:
I have spent my life just watching lilacs growing
And I have found in time there’s little use in the knowing

Of what turn we took when we went wrong
Or how I’d write you a better song
If the last hundred years war wasn’t going on
Dry your sad eyes and try to look on the bright side
The times when we cry are times when we’re most alive
But it ain’t easy to say goodbye
And I’m not asking you to try
But the last hundred years war is flying by

I have tried but I can’t lie I still don’t know what turns you on
So come inside the firelight I’ll put on your new favorite red record
I tried to remember what I lost
I found out but I forgot
That the last hundred years war
The last hundred years war
The last hundred years war is being fought
