Great Big Sea - Nothing But A Song lyrics

A brother can be difficult A blessing and a curse But livin' life without one Is something far worse Together in fraternity A sentence set for life Laced with petty rivalries And ready for a fight When nothing's ever left unsaid The battle lines are drawn Promises are broken Attack again at dawn Weapons drawn and ready And who will fire first Hands strong and steady Hit exactly where it hurts But you never leave a love so rare You never leave a love so long Remember that the life we share Is nothing but a song So you put on a happy face For everybody new But the closest to your heart So rarely get the best of you A moment's contradiction And the bickering's begun Daughters after mothers And fathers on their sons But you never leave a love so rare You never leave a love so long Remember that the life we share Remember that the life we share Is nothing but a song But you never leave a love so rare You never leave a love so long Remember that the life we share Remember that the life we share Remember that the life we share Is nothing but a song
