Brother, oh brother, what have I become? In the morning I'll be with you and if not then in the morning I'll be gone. Sister, oh sister, where have we been? In the morning I'll be with you and if not then in the morning I'll be dead
Once my promises were bent, I never knew quite what they meant, but ever since they turned true, now they belong to you, now they belong to you
Pappa, oh pappa, what have I become? In the morning I'll be with you and if not then in the morning I'll be gone. Momma, oh momma, where have we been? In the morning I'll be with you and if not then in the morning I'll be dead
And my words will turn to bones, and build houses out of stones. To start a family all their own, out of everything I've grown. And I'll never leave you alone
