Nothing but a Song Songtext

von Great Big Sea

A brother can be difficult
A blessing and a curse
But living life without one
Is something far worse.
Together in fraternity,
A sentence set for life,
Laced with petty rivalries
And ready for a fight.

Where nothing's ever left unsaid,
And the battle lines are drawn.
Promises are broken;
Attack and get it done.
Weapons drawn and ready,
And who will fire first?
Hands, strong and steady,
Hit exactly where it hurts.

You never leave a love so rare.
You never leave a love so long.
Remember that the life we share
Is nothing but a song.

Oh, you put on a happy face
For every body new,
But the closest to your heart
So rarely get the best of you.
A moment's contradiction
And the bickering's begun,
Daughters after mothers
And fathers on their sons.

But, you never leave a love so rare.
You never leave a love so long.
Remember how the life we share,
Remember how the life we share
Is nothing but a song.

Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh
Ahh Ahh Ahh
Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh
Ahh Ahh Ahh

You never leave a love so rare.
You never leave a love so long.
Remember that the life we share,
Remember that the life we share,
Remember that the life we share
Is nothing but a song.

Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh
Ahh Ahh Ahh
Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh
Ahh Ahh Ahh
