...but at least I'm not writing alone...Slainte, one and all.
OH MY BROTHER*
Oh, my brother
Won't you stand here beside me
We shall carry each other
And should your soul grow weary
And the strength leave your bones
Oh my brother
I will carry you home
I lost a lot of good intentions
Deep in watering eyes
Crystallized blue
There's a whole lot of fear
That kept me here
I know fear ain't nothing new to you
Fear ain't nothing new to you
White on white
Hospital eyes
Should have been there
Now I know
And singing this song's no way to say goodbye
But it's the only way I know
This is the only way I know
And singing this song's no way to say goodbye
But it's the only way I know
This is the only way I know

ReplyDeleteA friend is a someone you choose,
ReplyDeletea brother is someone you are given,
When a brother is also a friend then there is a double blessing.
And a double loss when he is gone.
Beautiful song...
