The Blue Hearts: Music
Mother of the Faith
(The Blue Hearts: Album Dark Side Of Town)
I found you when I was broken both in spirit and in mind
I was hunted by the shadows of the troubles I left behind
Yes I was staring through your window and your warm fire it was burning
Growing crosses in your garden and the weathered wall was wailing
Lay your soothing hands on me til I cannot shed a tear
Give me time in the darkest hour and lend courage to my fear
Kiss sweetest to the sour taste and give spirit to my disgrace
I will pray to you forever, mother of the faith
You carried home this wayward son from the wicked journey he had begun
From his goosestep pride and his callousness to the garden of selflessness
He can hold your hand and be not afraid to be led from cradle to the grave
And like all the masters and all the slaves would be stood right at your side
Lay your soothing hands on me until I cannot shed a tear
Give me time in the darkest hour and lend courage to my fear
Kiss sweetest to the sour taste and give spirit to my disgrace
I will pray to you forever, mother of the faith
Your forgiveness wrapped around my shoulders and your hands to lay upon me
And I know the best time to leave is when all my friends will all surround me
I have avarice for your heart and soul, greed for your body and mind
But I must leave your world tomorrow and never look behind
