Atheists In Foxholes

(앨범: Defeater - 2019)

Brother of mine

I've been keeping my thoughts with you
Hope these words and good luck help to
Put the worst of it behind
No atheists in foxholes
Or prayers our mother taught us
I've got the best of her in mind
"Keep me close
Keep me near"
The words we long to hear
Keep my name on your tongue
This rabbit foot for good luck
Keep me on your mind

If the road ahead is too long (keep me close)
Or your love and will are gone (keep me near)
Know that the night will have its dawn (keep me close)
Know that the night will have its dawn
And if your candle stops burning (keep me close)
Or your swan starts to sing (keep me near)
Stop and think of me
Stop and think of me
The ones we love

Too many kids in graves up and down these coasts
"Hold true, stay swift"
Mothers wait in vain for their boys to come home
Hull down, dead set
Two stars hang at the window
One blue, the other soon to be gold
Keep me, keep me close

Two stars, two stars
Two stars, two stars

"Keep me close
Keep me near"
The words we long to hear
Keep my name on your tongue
This rabbit foot for good luck
Keep me on your mind

If the road ahead is too long (keep me close)
And if your love and will is gone (keep me near)
Know that the night will have its dawn (keep me close)
Know that the night will have its dawn
And if your candle stops burning (keep me close)
Or your swan starts to sing (keep me near)
"Keep me close
Keep me near"
The words we long to hear
