lyrics

Fractals of splintered sunlight filtered freely past the windowpane
And the loveliest song he’d ever heard wound its way into his battered brain
His brother from another mother smiled and said “I put this on for you”
And on the couch they closed their eyes and drank in the sweet sound of “Morning Dew”

Walk me out into the morning dew, my brother
And I will walk through the morning dew with you
I can’t walk you out into the morning dew, my brother
I am your brother – I’m not your brother too

They’d never be yarddogs; they’d find a way to get out of this town
Twin loudmouth longhairs – one was white, the other one was brown
Both their dads were drinkers; that does something to you
Both full of so much potential neither one of them knew how to live up to

[break]

One drove off to school, one stayed in town and went to work when September came
And they’d see each other sometimes but it never was the same
The doors that opened to him – he didn’t see them at the time
But one steps right through and one is left behind

Walk me out into the morning dew, my brother
And I will walk through the morning dew with you
I can’t walk you out into the morning dew, my brother
I am your brother – I’m not your brother too

I thought I heard a young man mourn this morning
I thought I heard a young man mourn today
I thought I heard a young man mourn this morning
I can’t walk you out into the morning dew today
