Defeater, Patrick Flynn - Atheists In Foxholes lyrics

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 mothers 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)
If your love and will is gone (Keep me near)
Know the night will have it's dawn
(Keep me close)
Know the night will have it's dawn
And if your candle stops burning
(Keep me close) or your swan starts to sing
(Keep me near) or stop and think of me
Or 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 in the window
One blue, the other soon to be gold
"Keep me, keep me close"

Two stars two stars two stars two stars
Wait in vain wait in vain
Two stars wait in vain two stars two stars
Two stars two stars
Wait in vain wait in vain
Two stars wait in vain 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)
If your love and will is gone (Keep me near)
Know that the night will have it's dawn
(Keep me close)
Know the night will have it's 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
