I have a brother. He doesn't share my blood But we share a life Hidden from others. I've known of his every lover And he's known of mine. We've known eachother Though we'll deny it. I love him for his mind, He loves me for mine. No, I lie. He loves me for my body. I know his darkest desires, His hopes and his shame. He knows my dreams; I've tried to hide my failings. We've been lovers - But only at night! When dark deeds Can be hidden When the sun is out We sit and laugh Like brother and sister, but The kind that don't fight. I've known of his every lover And he's known of mine. We've known eachother Though we'll deny it. My every love Competes with him Even though They don't know it. He's married now. The wedding was last month. I didn't go But I will see him soon. I know his bride. But I will not see her. He and I will spend some Time together - family time. He doesn't share my blood But we share a life, A life which will remain Hidden from others.

Brother
I have a brother. He doesn't share my blood But we share a life Hidden from others. I've known of his every lover And he's known of mine. We've known eachother Though we'll deny it. I love him for his mind, He loves me for mine. No, I lie. He loves me for my body. I know his darkest desires, His hopes and his shame. He knows my dreams; I've tried to hide my failings. We've been lovers - But only at night! When dark deeds Can be hidden When the sun is out We sit and laugh Like brother and sister, but The kind that don't fight. I've known of his every lover And he's known of mine. We've known eachother Though we'll deny it. My every love Competes with him Even though They don't know it. He's married now. The wedding was last month. I didn't go But I will see him soon. I know his bride. But I will not see her. He and I will spend some Time together - family time. He doesn't share my blood But we share a life, A life which will remain Hidden from others.
