Brother the Cloud

I had a brother But now my brother is gone Oh, I search the sky for a glimpse of his blue eyes And there I find his image in the clouds If I could wish, wish it away I would bleed out my knees and pray If I could give all that I have To bring him back today These are but dreams, as sad as it seems I'm always wide awake Oh, understand it was not easy for my friend No promises even to yourself cannot be kept Enlarge the hole in my heart, rising river in the dark Erodes the shore 'til our shores were far apart If I could wish, wish it away I would bleed out my knees and pray If I could give all that I have To bring him back today For these are but dreams, as sad as it seems They never go away There's no previous reference for this level of pain, mmm I can't feign indifference, can't look away The years they go by, the hurt I still hide If I look okay, it's just the outside There's no previous reference for this level of pain Though I can hear him sing If I could wish, wish it away I would bleed out my knees and pray If I could give all that I have To bring back yesterday These are but dreams, as sad as it seems They never go away These are but dreams, as sad as it seems I'm always wide awake And I would not wish upon you But should you ever leave this Earth Before me, I doubt this highly Do for me, what I'd do for you Put your arm around, my friend Put your arm around, my friend Put your arm 'round, my brother, my friend Say for me, for me, for me, f- you, f- you, f- you What are friends What are friends, friends for? What are friends, what are friends What are friends for?
