Oysterband - Little Brother Lyrics

Every path will hit a brick wallEvery space is just a boxFirst he's happy Like a puppyThen he's hurting Like an oxTips the scales at ninety kilosSeventeen and six foot twoLittle brother runs his mother downJust passing throughTender-minded, oh so kindHe Loves to be with youAnywhere you go he'll stick like glueDoes he love me, does he know me?Smacks me in the head to show meLiving for the moment but the never comesLiving for the moment but the moment…Never comesShe lays her head down in the kitchenAll the things she's thinking ofMother sighs and wonders whyShe's stuck with everlasting LoveAny awkward time or placeHis eyes'll start to driftThen he bites his lip and will not shiftDoes he love me, does he know me?Smacks me in the head to show meDoes he know me, does he hear meEven when he stands so near me?Living for the moment but the moment never comesLiving for the moment but the moment…And he's watching the birdsThey're swooping in clouds, like wordsThey come to rest in someone else's treeAnd I'm down on my kneesGive me the patience pleaseNot to fly away and think I'm freeDoes he love me, does he know me?Smacks me in the head to show meDoes he know me, does he hear meEven when he stands so near me?Living for the moment but the moment never comesLiving for the moment but the moment never comesHe's living for the moment but the moment never comesLiving for the moment but the moment…All that hunger, Love and anger bottled up in eyes of blueThat can't see someone else's point of view
