Verse

Two brothers, promised they'd return

When the war that they were fighting was over

But only one lived to keep his vow

And the story I was told said he lived to be quite old

Before time won out

Someone asked if he knew what they both fought for

But he could not recall he had ever been to war

(Chorus)

Bridge

For there's Amnothing you can Gsay when it's Fover

And there's nothing you can do when it's done

There's no Ambattle you can Gwin

And there's D/F♯nothing to beFgin

That's not Ebegun

Verse

On this moment, I recall your face

And I wonder if you still think about me

Occasionally I still think of you

And I watch the river flow and I know I must let go

But it's oh so hard

For the waves are all around my small canoe

I had always hoped this boat could carry two

(chorus again)
