Lyrics
Song For My Brother
Primeval forest
Light, first light of the morning
Climb, high on a ridge
Like kings, we are anointed
And I feel this moment will linger as long as I live
A lake, blue as the north wind
Filled, filled with the sky
We swim, in the face of the mountain
And if water is life, then we are truly alive
Chorus
My brother by blood
Friend of my youth
Two nights each year we head out pilgrims in truth
Packs on our backs
Are all that we own
Traversing riches greater than we?ve ever known
Wood and stone
Just below heaven
Long ago
Lookout for fire
First light
Is the gold on the windows
We lean over the rail and wonder if we will grow old
Chorus
Bridge
Pleiades? meteor shower hurls stars on the lake
We lie on the logs somewhere between sleep and awake
Wood and stone
On the white Carbon River
Coleman stove
Tents on our backs
With each step
We feel the time passing
But on cold winter nights the forests and rivers come back
Chorus
