Great Big Sea - Nothing But A Song Lyrics

Great Big Sea Lyrics

"Nothing But A Song"

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

Ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah

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

Ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah
