Long Lost Brother
Words and Music: Detweiler
recording: OHIO
I thought that we`d be
Further along by now
I can`t remember how
We stumbled to this place
I loved you like a long lost brother
On a bad day maybe I thought why bother
I`ve seldom seen so much anger
In a face
I wanna do better
I wanna try harder
I wanna believe
Down to the letter
Jesus and Mary
Can you carry us
Across this ocean
Into the arms of forgiveness
I don`t mean to laugh outloud
I`m trying to come clean
Trying to shed my doubt
Maybe I should just keep
My big mouth shut
More often than not
When it comes to you
You want whatever`s not in front of you
Deep down I know this includes me too
So tell me your troubles
Let your pain rain down
I know my job I`ve been around
I invest in the mess
I`m a low cost dumping ground
Trouble is I`m so exhausted
The plot, you see, I think I`ve lost it
I need the grace to find what can`t be found
