Notes About The Poem

Brothers In Arms

frère dans ta chaise
c'est moi qui t'embrasse 

When I die
I wont say goodbye

If you die
I shall cry
 
Shall we both die?
Who then opens the sky?
 
Flowers will bloom though
Père Lachaise knows why
 
When death dances
We all shall cry
 
I lay my head down
so to sleep
 
In vats of wine
dreams ferment to keep
 
Souls be damned
Love made us weep

I will be there
With you and the roses

I have a feeling this song has been inspired by Darren....a brother in a (wheel)chair. Lovely and touching, Arthur. The accompanying song is fitting; once again Père Lachaise cemetery serves a purpose. Regards // paul
