Dream Brother
Jeff Buckley
Grace (1994)
There
is a child sleeping near his twin
The pictures go wild in a
rush of wind
That dark angel he is
shuffling in
Watching over them with his
black feather wings unfurled
The
love you lost with her skin so fair
Is free with the wind in her
butterscotch hair
Her green eyes blew goodbyes
With her head in her hands
and your kiss on the lips of
another
Dream Brother with your
tears scattered round the world.
Don't
be like the one who made me so old
Don't be like the one who
left behind his name
'Cause they're waiting for
you like I waited for mine
And nobody ever came
Nobody ever...
I
feel afraid and I call your name
I love your voice and your
dance insane
I hear your words and I know
your pain
With your head in your hands
and her kiss on the lips of another
Your eyes to the ground and
the world spinning round forever
Asleep in the sand with the
ocean washing over
Asleep in the sand with the
ocean washing over
Asleep in the sand with the
ocean washing over
Ah
do you meet the one I love
and smell the one who loves you Dream brother, dream
brother, dream, dream
dream asleep in the sand with the ocean washing over
