about

Written by Ninos, with a little help from Cody

lyrics

Kathy drinks from her cup
and prepares his lunch she thinks this could be her final hour
the boy says something smart
as he perfects the art of filling her with laughter

she hopes he won't end up like his father
the man with the grin
who's gone with the wind
to anyone
who would let him in
his resemblance
is uncanny
and she's frightened

reverend Gabriel talks
to an empty hall he thinks he's been forsaken
he's lost all his sheep
feeling feeble and weak his heart is filled with sorrow
lord why have they made me a beggar
why would they leave?
how can it be?
do they not believe?
in you or me?
i'm uncertain
if i'm willing
and able

Now twenty years gone
for mother and son he went to fight in someone else's war
tired eyes that wept
she'd never forget the times he left her laughing
she hopes he will return a hero
a new dawn appears
she prays
he'll be standing here
when the dust all clears with nothing to fear
her hands run
through the pages
of their scrapbook

With a title like that, you don't need much imagination figuring out what it's going to sound like. ... more
