A Brother Slips Away
Lyricist:Richard Thompson
Seems like just the other day You and I, we sat and played 'Come All Ye Tramps and Hawkers' And the White Cockade
Tea was flowing, dice were rolling We were twenty, not much more And now they say I've crossed over To that distant shore
And a brother slips away Like a ship at dawn of day A brother slips away Another brother gone
There's a brother slips away I reached out my hand too late A brother slips away A brother slips away
Juliet, she came up smiling Wherever life would toss you You were everybody's friend Except the fools who crossed you
They rained down death upon your head And you took it in your stride They'll never knock it out of you That good old London Pride
And a sister slips away We'll sing her name to heaven's gate A sister slips away Another sister gone
Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com A sister slips away I reached out my hand too late A sister slips away Yes, a sister slips away
Davy, it was through your eyes We saw so many things The dusty feet of pilgrims The halls of mountain kings
That old poet's vision Still coursing through your veins It breaks my heart that I will never See your face again
And a brother slips away Like a ship at dawn of day A brother slips away Another brother gone
A brother slips away I reached out my hand too late A brother slips away A brother slips away
A brother slips away We'll sing his name to heavens gate A brother slips away Another brother gone
Yes, a brother slips away I reached out my hand too late A brother slips away Yes, a brother slips away
