The Black Keys - Unknown Brother lyrics

rate me

Though I never met you

And we spoke not a word

I'll never forget you

Through stories that I've heard

For you unknown brother

My baby's mother is pained

Cause your soul is in heaven

But your memory remains

Unknown, unknown brother

I'll meet you someday

Unknown, unknown brother

We'll walk through fields where children play

Your eyes shined bright

When you were a kid

Your sisters loved you

And all that you did

Big brother, big brother

Don't worry a bit

Your flame has not faded

Since the day it was lit

Your life

Was joy

Your mama's

Only boy

And when the skies

Are blue

Big brother

They're blue for you

We'll smile like pictures

Of you as a boy

Long before you retired

To heavenly joy

Unknown, unknown brother

I'll meet you someday

Unknown, unknown brother

We'll walk through fields where children play
