Her green eyes blew goodbyes

With her head in her hands

and your kiss on the lips of another

Dream Brother with your tears scattered round the world.

’Cause they’re waiting for you like I waited for mine

Don’t be like the one who left behind his name

’Cause they’re waiting for you like I waited for mine

Nobody ever came

Nobody ever...

I feel afraid and I call your name

I hear your words and I know your pain

With your head in your hands and her kiss on the lips of another

Your eyes to the ground and the world spinning round forever

Asleep in the sand with the ocean washing ov
