Brother

[Verse 1] Your mother's only son If she had a had one, if she had a had one Your mother's only son My sisters born together Whispering soldier Winters getting colder, winters getting colder Yeah, you watch me getting older [Verse 2] It was not a lonely summer Absence love is manufactured I was ready to be captured Oh but hearts are made to fracture I was waiting by the phone For July Talk conversation Oh, my love, you were so patient Running still intoxication [Chorus] Your mother's only son She's not the only one That watched me tell a lie No, he's not the only one [Bridge] That would leave me to die, leave me to die By the river side Leave me to die Make your little sister cry [Verse 3] There was romance in the waiting Short phone calls understated Secrets created We made our homes in different places Ecstasy ain't hard to come by I met her in the 'Month of May' Time came you went away History remain [Chorus] [Bridge] [Outro] It's time to leave this to die by the river side Leave this to die by the river side Leave this to die Make our little sisters cry
