Lyrics

Unknown Brother

From Brothers (Deluxe Remastered Anniversary Edition)2012

Written by Dan Auerbach, Patrick Carney

Produced by Dan Auerbach, Mark Neill, Patrick Carney

Lyrics

Unknown Brother

Though I've never met you And we've spoke not a word I'll never forget you Through the stories that I've heard For you, unknown brother My baby's mother's in pain 'Cause your soul is in heaven But your memory remains Unknown, unknown brother I'll meet you someday Unknown, unknown brother We'll walk through fields where children play Your eyes shined bright When you were a kid Your sisters loved you And all that you did Big brother, big brother Don't worry a bit Your flame has not faded Since the day it was lit Your life was joy You're mama's only boy And when the skies are blue Big brother they're blue for you We'll smile at pictures Of you as a boy Before you retire To heavenly joy Unknown, unknown brother I'll meet you someday Unknown, unknown brother We'll walk through fields where children play
