Crayons on the bedroom floor
Tents of blankets, our light a torch
Toy soldiers face off but what for ?
Together we must face the world
And it's ok to be upset
We can retreat back to our den
Whispered secrets no one else knows
Because we're brothers thats how it goes

A photograph rests in a frame
Of me and you from younger days
And if it falls the glass might break
But brothers, will always remain

Autumn leaves dance at our feet
On our first school walk together down tower street
Then the teachers said to me
He's your baby brother, we can see
The same brown hair, our mothers eyes
Distincrive features of the same bloodline
It happened for a reason don't you know
Our house was empty
And then they brought you home

A photograph rests in a frame
Of me and you from younger days
And if it falls the glass might break
But brothers, will always remain

It's kind of strange to watch you grow
18 candles, you left home
And the days i miss the most
Were with Lego bricks and hours lost
Your number saved but you don't call
And so weeks can go until we talk
We've both got kids, own our own home
I'm greying now, where did it go?

A photograph rests in a frame
Of me and you from younger days
And if it falls the glass might break
But brothers, will always remain

Remember on your wedding day
Your brides father gave her away
You turn around and said to me
I'm not gone yet, brothers for keeps
***** music played, a speech was made
To the first dance music our children played
Doing things we used to do
Then it was all over, guests leave the room
And in the middle me and you
And the memories of long ago
Where did all the years go ....
