James Germain & the Grey Gray Days - Brother Hear Me Lyrics

I've a feeling you're yearning to learn love's just a calming of nerves
Slowly showing when it starts to hurt the world's so much bigger than her

I know that it all but kills you inside to hear me still call her a friend
But I was there for her at your request when you first broke ground of this mess
It burns like a barn in a drought under her breast

Stop repeating the chorus of words to hurting yourself, him, or her
Take the tongue from the cheek in your face and denounce a prayer in its place
All god has given is his to take, Lord won't you give her the same?

I know who's taking her home
And it's a cancer in my bones
To veil where she is as you dare admit
You miss the way that she moans

Brother, hear me now
It's not how it sounds, I just can't call her those names
My eyes aren't as green as they were when we just left our rows to the bay
It's been seven years since you've left such tears with me like blood in my veins
Brother, hold me down
When tables turn around, I won't ask you to explain
Some photographs are too dear to trap in a frame
