Desertshore - Brothers lyrics

One day 1932 My dad was born in Northeast Ohio One day 1941 His oldest brother Lenny went to war And their mother waited every day For the mail at the door But he lost that brother in Pearl Harbor And still the mother Put a gold star in the window and waited And waited For him to come home but he Never ever ever ever showed And my dad He's still around He's 80 years old and He's never ever left that town One day 1989 His brother Billy got bad news Really bad news My dad visit him from time to time Keep him company, help the family bring him food and other things That Billy liked And as it all turned out He lost that brother to pancreatic cancer And my uncle's remembered as a hard worker and a good family man And my dad He's still kickin' round That old broken down Steel mill town And my dad I still go see We talk til late at night And we sit around and watch TV One day Late 2012 His brother Bobby wasn't feeling too well He wasn't feeling too well There wasn't much Much that could be done Failing health at the age of 81 And as it went he lost His last brother to natural causes that winter And my uncle Bobby's remembered as a charming and funny man And my dad He is still around And I'll miss him like hell When I can no longer hear the sound Of his voice giving me advice and Tellin' me the latest news When we can't sit around and watch old reruns in his living room
