Brother Lyrics

Come in brother, where have my manners gone?
You know as well as I the nights are safer
Spent like brothers asleep on kitchen floors
We'll make up an excuse for leaving lights left on all night
To scare the fright away

Shrugged my shoulders you always looked upon
No longer need a chair to peek right over
Broke your shoulder trying to break the door
You left for far away when I refused to leave unlocked
My bedroom locked away
Even locked, my fright is here to stay

Oh October, your wisdom never fails
You made me who I am, and I am nothing
Poor October, you never lasted long
I'll see you in a year, but maybe sooner
If you'd please return to me

Getting older, I've learned to wait my turn
You're back from far away to talk it over
Getting older, you've learned to never wait
We'll make up an excuse for having wasted all our time
To scaring fright away
Wasting time, oh it's a crime

Run brother run, I know what you've done
But I'll keep your red, favorite chair warm for you
