There's a snowflake drifting down the alley And it lands In a puddle of rain The puddle freezes over, the snowflakes growing it will, never fly again Well, way above the alley there's a flat with a bedroom light on In the corner of the room was a baby's crib surrounded by a newborn, dad and mom I lay in the next room, listening to all of your cries, my daddy scooped me up in his big strong arms and rested me right by your side From that moment, we were bonded by more than just blood, there's some magic tonight in this endless night, you know it's my job to teach you good I watched you growing faster than that snowflake ever did We would mess around in the scrapyard ground and you would mimic all i did I was the biggest giant you were David, you cut me down Then you'd pull me up with your tiny palms from that ***** little scrapyard town Out in the street, sometimes I'd catch you looking at me, I was the hero of a.child who looked up to his brother, that brother was me It wasn't all easy, you my brother were never all good But whenever we'd fall out I'd lift the hair from your ear and whisper softly were more than just blood Do you remember those dark nights when the world was asleep Pull out a picnic blanket in the middle of our room and make this night, our own to keep Talking, for hours you asked me how do I make my way in this world I said I don't know yet but when I figure it out I promise I'll tell you On your first day of school I sat and watched in the window on the alley top I watch you walk on by with pride in your step you looked back to me but you never stopped In my mind you were always one of a kind smiling each and every step of the way I always hoped that those lessons I thought you, you could teach your own one day There's a snowflake drifting down the street and it lands on the tip of my tongue There's some radio playing from the alley flats and it's playing our fun song There's two boys running down the street chasing around rolling in the mud One of those boys pulls the other one down and I hear him whisper ... it's more than just blood
