歌词

[Verse 1]
Older brother, restless soul, lie down
Lie for a while with your ear against the earth
And you'll hear your sister sleep talking
Saying, "Your hair is long but not long but enough
To reach, home to me
Oh but your beard, someday might be
[Verse 2]
And she'll woke up in a cold sweat on the floor
Next to a family portrait drawn when you were four
And beside a jar of two cent coins that are no good no more
She'll lay it aside
[Verse 3]
Older father, weary soul, you'll drive
Out to the home you made on the mountainside
With that ugly, terrible thing
The papers for divorce and a lonely ring
Lonely ring
Sit on your porch
Pluck your strings
[Verse 4]
And you'll find somebody you can blame
And you'll follow the creek that runs out into the sea
And you'll find the peace of the Lord
[Verse 5]
Grandfather, weary soul, you'll fly
Over your life once more before you die
Since our grandma passed away
You've waited for forever and a day
Just to die
And someday soon
You will die
[Verse 6]
Oh, the only woman you ever loved
She got burnt by the sun too often when she was young
And the cancer spread and ran into her body and her blood
And there's nothing that you can do about it now
