I took the train to see you, stepped off the platform
maybe four or five years later than you asked me to
you came along at a time my life was changing
about a hundred times faster than I wanted to
All these visions of our goodbyes
live in here, in my mind, forever
I owed you a letter
so I'll give you a song
thank you for being a brother
even though the house we would live in is gone
The voice of God comes sometimes when I am listening
to the people who breathe music like it's oxygen
I see that in your eyes every time they're passing mine
