Brother's Keeper

First of October The summers over The leaves are falling All around my door The midnight walking Early morning talking Can't you hear us whispering? Walking walks your floor Walking on your floor [Verse 2] 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's saying [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 4] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Outro] I'm going deeper My brother's keeper I’m looking out for him The best I can
