Brother
Brother oh brother
Where have you gone
I have loved you
For so very long
Your dreams and
Life have eaten you
Mind and Body ghostly
Haven’t a clue
There is no hope
For your return
Liquors killed your brain
The pages have been burned
And I wish time could
Erase your tears
Nightmares would end
Blessings replace fears
I fear you are too
Far removed and done
I don’t think they make
A bandaid for this one
Drugs and therapy
May help you recover
But the pain of living
Has pushed you over
Reality is anguish
With so much pain
Sun doesn’t shine
Everyday is rain
Brother oh brother
Where have you gone
I am here always
A sad brothers song
