Brother
I've been trying to reach you
Brother
Got a new song to teach you
Another useless piece of advice

Our mother
Wants to know if you've grown
She's better
But still cries down the phone to her sister
At least once or twice a week

And Hugo
Thinks he's falling in love
But you know what he's like
She is nice
You never know, maybe this one will last

As for me
When daddy died I guess that
I went crazy
Was a hell of a ride
Yeah, but lately I've been doing alright

And last night
I had a dream but it seemed
Like real life
I awoke with a scream into lamplight
And everything was quiet

Brother
I've been trying to reach you
Brother
Got a new song to teach you
Another useless piece of advice
