[Verse 1] 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
[Chorus] "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 its dawn (Keep me close) Know the night will have its 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
[Verse 2] 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"
[Bridge] 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
[Chorus] "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 its dawn (Keep me close) Know 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 hearTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
