Lyrics
The Runaway Brothers
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I didn't want to write this song
Because I love you and you've been my friend so long
We were the same when we were young
Living it two as one
All through the scrapes and all the narrow escapes
You pulled me through you made me feel like I was not insane
We promised that we'd never change
Holding out on the edge
Today - life's a different story today
Sad and yet not sad in a way
People never do stay the same
And the runaway brothers have had their day
Remember on your wedding day
I must admit I had the strangest feeling then
Outside the Church - we took some flak
Both throwing up round the back
But now when we meet up today
It don't seem right that we just don't know what to say
Not knowing what to do
Today - life's a different story today
Sad and yet not sad in a way
People never do stay the same
And the runaway brothers have had their day
You've got a job, I understand
You've got a wife, I got the band
I never thought I'd write this song
I never thought that we could change so much - so long
I won't forget you - oh my friend
Here's holding out 'til the end
Today - life's a different story today
Sad and yet not sad in a way
People never do stay the same
And the runaway brothers have had their day
Whatever happened to the runaway brothers?
Whatever happened to the runaway brothers?
La la la etc.
