Seems like just the other day You and I, we sat and played Come all ye tramps and hawkers And the white cockade Tea was flowing, dice were rolling We were 20, not much more And now they say you've crossed over To that distant shore
And a brother slips away Like a ship at dawn of day A brother slips away Another brother gone A brother slips away I reached out my hand too late A brother slips away A brother slips away
Juliet, you came up smiling Wherever life would toss you You were everybody's friend Except the fools who crossed you They rained down death upon your head You took it in your stride They'll never knock it out of you That good old London pride
And a sister slips away Sing her name to Heaven's gate A sister slips away Another sister gone A sister slips away I reached out my hand too late A sister slips away Yes a sister slips away
Davy, it was through your eyes That we saw so many things The dusty feet of pilgrims The halls of mountain kings That old poet's vision Still coursing through your veins It breaks my heart that I will never See your face again
And a brother slips away Like a ship at dawn of day A brother slips away Another brother gone A brother slips away I reached out my hand too late A brother slips away A brother slips away
And a brother slips away Sing his name to Heaven's gate A brother slips away Another brother gone A brother slips away I reached out my hand too late A brother slips away A brother slips awayTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
