Brother Lyrics

I'm sitting in the silence, and watching the break of dawn

Letting out the old dog, Gary slowly starts to yawn

The shallows on the wire they are truly well-prepared

To accompany my brother, their journey will be shared

I spot the oak, the great one, on the upside of the hill

We used to compete in climbing higher, mother's biggest thrill

I always ended up losing but I really didn't mind

The land, the lake, the spring, the hills were everybody's prize

The garden was our fighting pit, our old bones used to crunch

Sometimes there was a bit too much power behind the punch

We forgot about everything when mother cried out loud

Pancakes were for dinner, and we counted them with pride

Now he's standing at the door

Putting on his coat

Then tells a dreadful joke

You would have better gone

'I'm not gonna die'

Mother starts to cry

Brother now it is time

To say goodbye

Let the birds sing for you

When there's no place you go to

Let the birds sing for you

When everything is blue

Let the birds sing for you

When no one has a clue

Let the birds sing for you

When you don't know what to do

I'm sitting in the silence, and watching the break of dawn

Letting out the old dog, Gary slowly starts to yawn

The shallows on the wire they are truly well-prepared

To accompany my brother, their journey will be shared

Let the birds sing for you

When there's no place you go to

Let the birds sing for you

When everything is blue

Let the birds sing for you

When no one has a clue

Let the birds sing for you

When you don't know what to do

Let the birds sing for you

When there's no place you go to

Let the birds sing for you

When everything is blue

Let the birds sing for you

When no one has a clue

Let the birds sing for you

When you don't know what to do
