Brother Tongue

(álbum: Friendly Fire - 2022)

Aren't all the lights in the night sky pretty
Aren't we so small in this tiny city
Aren't we absurd thinking gestures and words might explain us
We are piles of dust articulating chaos

And maybe in the sand (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
We find a steady hand (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)

Talk to me in brother tongue
Tell me where this nature from
Show me how this river run
Teach me how to sing my song
The lust and the long
The lust and the long

How is it that I can feel you breathing
Head on your chest where your heart is beating
The pieces assemble but don't complete us
And whole galaxies live in the spaces between us

Pour me out like sand (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Until we start again (Oh-oh-oh)

Talk to me in brother tongue
Tell me where this nature from
Show me how this river run
Teach me how to sing this song
The lust and the long
The lust and the long

Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Pour me out like sand
Until we start again
Talk to me in brother tongue
Tell me where this nature from
Show me how this river run
Teach me how to sing my song
The lust and the long
The lust and the long
