Brother

And it was a morning
 Or was it afternoon?
 It may have been evening time
 You had to go too soon
 But I had left you a message
 There were no warnings when
 No, no warnings
 Cause when the news came in
 You were...
 And I
 I remember your face
 and the way you used to smile
 And I
 I remember your strength
 and your will
 to hold the family line
 ♪
 Brother you left me, why?
 You were thinking of the end
 but we lost touch
 And I never suspected
 you would go this way
 So much left unsaid
 The love you gave me,
 the man that I am
 Why did you have to let it go?
 Let it all go
 down
 But it's late, too late
 Late, late, late, late

 Brother, brotherman
 You Monday wonder
 It's understood
 you will be missed
 You will be missed
 Brotherman
 You Monday wonder
 You will be missed
 On the island
 where your body stood
 Let the tide
 wash away the stains

 Wash away the stains

 Wash away the stain

 Let the tide, the tide, the tide, the tide
 wash away the stain
