lyrics

On the day my brother leaves
I am the dove that’s lost its wing
I’m flying in circles in my mind
And my heart skips every other beat
My heart skips every other beat
And my hope is that we all know what this means

I don’t pour milk over my tea
I drink it bitter now, never sweet
How can we leave the past behind
If we keep staring out this window at the street
If we keep staring out this window at the street
And my hope is that we all know what this means

And on the day he comes back home
My father will weep and hold him close
He’ll set the table and fan the smoke
Fire up the grill like he used to every night
Call up the neighbors and say we’re doing fine
Tell ‘em that everyone’s invited to come inside

And my hope is that we all know
My hope is that we all know
My hope is that we all know what this means

I'm way behind the curve on this. I thought M/L was to be a one-off project but now there's more? And it's even better than the first? YES!! J. Danner
