Definitely should be spelled with one "O" not 2.
To me, this song is simply about someone telling a friend that they understand loneliness and how the night can drag when you can't sleep. She's on the same path and offers comfort only insofar as she's saying there's another lonely person right there with you. So she is offering her faith if the person she is singing to loses theirs. I'm a little unsure about the use of the phrase "you can have mine." That seems to imply that she has no use for it herself. Contrast that with saying "I'll give you mine" which would be a little more helpful and hopeful. And having no use for it would mean that the singer has given up, whatever faith she has is useless to her. This is supported by the 4th to last stanza:
And if these troubles
should vanish like rain on midday
well I've no doubt there'll be more.
The sky might be clear now but the rain clouds will be back, don't worry.
Pretty much a downer of a song, I guess. Hey you're alone, I know what it's like, don't worry, so am I but don't expect being alone together to make you feel less alone.
