Hammering Away Valentine

Happily his little radio sings
Love songs in foreign languages
While the lonely carpenter
Slowly rebuilds the world
From the last few trees and birds
Resting quietly at noon to enjoy
His mother's delicious sandwiches
She got up early to prepare
Never knowing when he'd return
Sometimes he's gone for years
Sometimes she wishes secretly
He'd give it all up and come home
But she knows how much love is left
When everything else is gone
