Birthday Carol

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]

I was born this very morning

And my brother, he was also born

In our first nine months, we learned to speak

And we have been listening since early morn'

I love no one but my brother

Who spent those months with me

I hate no one and no other has so far hated me

But it isn't yet the afternoon

And things are still to be

And when evening comes we all will see

[Verse 2]

I am not very old and I won't live long

I was born this very morning singing this here song

Now I feel the worst for older people

Winding out their friendless hours alone

Seeing lives like plays at final curtain

Looking out to find everyone has gone home

Is there something I can pray to? Some offering I can send?

Or some ear that I can play to, to help him find a friend?

And maybe then redeem myself to keep me from that end

For the evening comes and who knows when

[Outro]

I am not very old and I won't live long

I was born this very morning singing this here song

Oh, my brother, where is our mother?

Is there no other to live together to be our lover?

I am not very old and I won't live long

I was born this very morning singing this here song

For the evening comes and who knows when

[Instrumental Outro]
