lyrics

Brother Danny was a fisher of men
He cast his jigs across the Arkansas sands
Hooked a line on his finger and he played in the band
Every Sunday and we said Amen
You had your guitar on your lap on the banks
Had your strings tangled up in the trees
You wrote me a letter and explained it all to me
You said a brother is a promise that you keep

When your father is a son of god
And you are the son of the son
A brother is a brother and to doubt
It is a creek you have to cross
Like the Prodigal who never left at all

I sat down in the corner at the drums
We opened up together in accord
I saw tears in your eyes when the spirit hit the floor
I didn’t like it but you didn’t know what for
And after lunch you asked me if I still believed
In a spirit that would never come to me
You asked me what it was like on the far side of the creek
I told the truth, sometimes it gets lonely

When your father is a son of god
And you are the son of the son
A brother is a brother and to doubt it
Is a creek you have to cross
And when your spirit leaves your body like a fog
And you’re left on the banks all alone
A friend is a brother and to doubt
It is a creek you have to cross
Like the Prodigal who never left at all

That summer was the last time we spoke
I was shaking when you called me on the phone
You told me you were moving but you’d be back in the fall
Twenty years later and I finally get the call
