Loved Again, Again (Mary)

[verse 1] Born in a boxcar, mountain pass Cold wind whistling through thin walls From hand to land, no steady face Too young to know who’d stay at all [refrain] And she loved again, again [verse 2] Love came quick, then he was gone Letters late, then silence long Winter fighting, far from home Not knowing if he’d come at all [refrain] And she loved again, again [verse 3] Three born early, could not breathe No air, no heat to hold them here Hospital glass, no help for blue Children home, and more to come [refrain] And she loved again, again [verse 4] Small shared house for twenty-three years Smoke all night as kids lost sleep Kitchen claimed by someone else Knowing who would never leave [refrain] And she loved again, again [verse 5] Cards dealt out, walks, laughter shared Friendships fed from written years Stories told, odd facts she stored Hands once held now holding hers [refrain] And she loved again, again [outro] Again.
