Lost it seems, brother the days that we
Could wrestle on the floor
Of the living room, shedding our cocoons
Oh the telescope, oh the crescent moon
Open the drawer, sister by the door
Where you hide your diary
With the diagrams, all forsaken plans
Read again the note, everything you wrote
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Grandfather, oh where have you gone?
My best friend it feels to me
Its so long, since we took our trip
To the mountain, sleeping in our tent
And when I fall I fall in you
All stars in skies they shine on you
In the chair, by the window there
I write my will on the window sill
And all I leave, its for my family
With whom I share my blood, I share my name and love
Jesus the lamb, the lion the I Am
Remember me when you're in
The promised land, no recompense
Forsaking all i've earned, forsaking self defense
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
When time and space are finally parting ways
The full eclipse of earth and my near 10,000 days
The new trombone (neutron bomb), or is the kingdom come
The stars outshine the moon and the moon points to the sun
Oh, oh, oh, oh
And when I fall I fall in you
All stars in skies they shine on you
And when I fall I fall in you
All stars in skies they shine on you
They only point to you
Brother brother, sister sister
Father mother, oh i've missed you
Brother brother, sister sister
Mother father, how I love you
