Kevin Browne: Songs

• MP3 short clip, hi-fi play (broadband)

Clouds appear before my eyes, as November turns counterclockwise

Seems absurd, but those years went by in a blu

And the leaves changed colors overnight in the autumn of your life

You know, papa sometimes it’s hard to let go

 

-chorus-

But I see my brothers holding me

And we speak of your strength, keeps your memory alive

Like the house on Blackburn Drive, made of brick

 

Fireflies lighting up the sky, Mississippi rolling by

Those long drives, even then I knew you were wise

From the bridge we saw railroad tracks below, while the sun was sinking low

You know, papa sometimes it’s hard to let go

 

-chorus-

 

Papa I’d see you at the wheel and you seemed so tall

But any words I could use to define you seem so small

And as children you were there to catch us when we’d fall

Now your story’s been written add another brick to the wall

Now your story’s been written add another brick to the wall

 

-chorus-
