Great Big Sea - Nothing But A Song lyrics

rate me

A brother can be difficult

A blessing and a curse

But livin' life without one

Is something far worse

Together in fraternity

A sentence set for life

Laced with petty rivalries

And ready for a fight

When nothing's ever left unsaid

The battle lines are drawn

Promises are broken

Attack again at dawn

Weapons drawn and ready

And who will fire first

Hands strong and steady

Hit exactly where it hurts

But you never leave a love so rare

You never leave a love so long

Remember that the life we share

Is nothing but a song

So you put on a happy face

For everybody new

But the closest to your heart

So rarely get the best of you

A moment's contradiction

And the bickering's begun

Daughters after mothers

And fathers on their sons

But you never leave a love so rare

You never leave a love so long

Remember that the life we share

Remember that the life we share

Is nothing but a song

But you never leave a love so rare

You never leave a love so long

Remember that the life we share

Remember that the life we share

Remember that the life we share

Is nothing but a song
