faith full again
She needs it to believe her love will wait across the ocean
He needs it so his mother finally finds peace in sleep tonight
She needs it so that she can make her way, but first to find it
He needs it as he sits with her, stays with her 'til first light
They need it in the home that they used to fill with laughter
They need it in their separate rooms that they use to fight
We need it like a brother needs another son to sit beside him
We need it like mother needs a father, like husband needs wife
CH
Mother, my faith is late again
though I wound my watch and I wrote to remind him
Mother, my faith is late again
but don't lock the latch 'til I am faith full again
VII
She leaves it like a letter from a lover now nearer to the fighting
He leaves it in the wishes of his brother, in remembrance of his life
They leave it in the faces of each other when their memories remind them
We leave it with a mother, with a father, with husband, with wife
CH
but, Mother, my faith is late again
though I wound my watch and I wrote to remind him
Mother, my faith is late again
but don't lock the latch 'til I am faith full again
VIII
She finds it in the paper on the cover, now the war is nearly over
He finds it in the whisper of his mother, at the end of all her strife
They find it in the company that's over, in the times that they remember
We find it in a mother, in a father, in husband, in wife
CH
but, Mother, my faith is late again
though I wound my watch I and wrote to remind him
Mother, my faith is late again
but don't lock the latch 'til I am faith full again
Lately, I've been faith full again...
