Ballroom Thieves, The - Brother Lyrics






Oh, the stillest words bring on the storm
I'm your long lost brother and I'm coming home
I'm a slave to my worries and scuff to my faults
And I'll sink in a bottle of the strongest waters

Whoa, whoa

Oh, these wings, they flicker and my feathers stir
Till I'm an old slow soul in a hurried world
And I'm quick on the trigger with some breakneck bets
I shoulda known these arms weren't fit for nests

But in my haste
I've abandoned my way
Don't you pay me no mind

Oh, the stillest words bring on the storm
I'm your long lost lover and I'm coming home
I'm a slave to the night, hands tied to the ale house
And I'll burn both ends till the hunger wears out

Oh, whoa

Oh, these wings, they flicker and my feathers stir
Till I'm an ancient soul in a cascade world
And I'm quick with the bullet when it comes undone
I got a head like a turret with a mouth for a gun

And in my haste
I've abandoned my way
Don't you pay me no mind

I'll sink in a bottle of the strongest
I'll sink in a bottle of the, oh
I'll sink in a bottle of the strongest waters
I'll sink in a bottle of the strongest
I'll sink in a bottle of the, oh
I'll sink in a bottle of the strongest waters

Yeah, oh, in my haste
I've abandoned my way
Don't you pay
Won't you stay?

Now won't you stay?
Now won't you stay? Yeah

    hahaha it's more a traditional Celtic sound. The cymbal, I hate it though. It sounds terrible - probably on account of the room.

    E.... ....

    I think it might have been the mics, sounds like a 10 mic situation where they are only using 4 or so..

    E.... ....

    You might be much better off using those prayers to ask for a sharp wit. . . and a dictionary/guide to punctuation!

    I love this band and their music!!!!  Each of you in the "Thieves" is an amazon musician and artist. I've seen you play twice in the last few months (Portland Me - Jan 2014, Manchester NH - Feb 2014) and I can't wait to see you all again. The emotion and energy in your performance is what makes you all so unique. Go, go, go - you are the next big thing in music!

  11. s.... ....
