Glen Hansard - Brother's Keeper Lyrics






1st of October, the summer's over
The leaves are falling all around my door
The midnight walking, early morning talking
Can't you hear us whispering, walking across your floor
Walking on your floor

Well, I'm going deeper, my brother's keeper
I'm looking out for him the best I can
He's getting older, the year is colder
Got to lean a little closer now and hear what he's saying
Hear what he says

We'll go out rambling all through the brambling
Long shadows falling far out ahead
The rose hips have grown now, the year is in slowdown
Your long hair and long dress, let them fall for me
Let them fall for me

And will you wait for me to come home?
Will you wait for me?

Brother, put that weight on me
Brother, put that weight on me

Great works don't lie there, grind up and dry there
They wait for impatiently your hands to find
Leaf through the pages, can't you feel the ages
Rise up like dust now in the sunlight there
In the sunlight

And will you wait for me to come home?
Will you wait for me?

Brother, put that weight on me
Brother, put that weight on me
Sister, put that weight on me
Sister, put that weight on me

I'm going deeper, my brother's keeper
I'm looking out for him the best I can

    For god’s sake can he get any better. Great instrumentation, great lyrics, great clip, great dog! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

  26. R.... F....

    I must admit most of this new album doesn't come across well live because of its slow sombre mood. Its hard to mix it in with glens rest of set . Like revelate next to a really slow dark song
    The crowd can only sit there still and watch. Hard to get a vibe going. My opinion is he wont play most of this album live after this tour. Its not really coming across well to a crowd. Just my view. Last night was a strange atmosphere.

  27. J.... M....

    Best coca cola add ever

  28. J.... S....

    ~ Glen's voice is so soothing and uplifting... feeling as a shady tree that i find myself taking shelter under, calming the swirling chaos i sometimes feel within myself... he's looking out for me too, without even knowing ~

    Goose skin....as from so many of Glens songs. For me he is one of the best musicans. Every of his songs has a soul and you can fiel his love and the honesty in his music
    He is simply great

  58. �.... �....

  59. N.... B....

    You'd want to rinse those suds off. Lovely cup of tea though.

    N.... B....

    Niall Brennan not with soap but maybe he's using a very mild natural soup & it's not so bad. THE Most High Bless you & Glen & you all in JESUSs Almighty Name ALLELULIAH

    N.... B....

    i mean if the soap is mild & natural & watered down. but he's a top class musician you cant expect him to ne good at dishes lol

    N.... B....

    I love the fact he’s doing dishes...

  60. B.... S....

    Just Fabulous Way To Go Glen!! xD
