Brother, where've you been
Will you come back home to sleep
Brother, where've you been
Did you miss us all of these years
Not too far from the sea
Down to the valley of mills
Surrounded by golden wheat fields
Lies the town you loved as a kid
We were both running all day long
We would hide from the priest meet the girls and kiss
You were always the wild one
Since we were little then you left us behind
Brother, where've you been
Will you come back home to sleep
Brother, where've you been
Did you miss us all of these years
The trees were quiet the night was dark
I could see in your eyes the old shadow was back
Eyes at the mercy of fear
You knew it before he would start
He put a gun to your head
He said that you didn't deserve
The respect of your family's name
Like a tombstone this stands on my heart since that day
Brother, where've you been
Will you come back home to sleep
Brother, where've you been
Did you miss us all of these years
You came back to the land you once loved
To find out that time does not pass at all
And as we were walking, the silence was broken
Broken you said to me
Had to tear my bridges down
Had to get back to the start
Had to lose my mind
Swallow my pain, drag my feet on the ground
Came around town and I fell into the mud
Where I buried the gun that my dad used to have
Closed my eyes, deep breath inside
Said to myself I was free to go back
Brother, where've you been
Will you come back home to sleep
Brother, where've you been
Did you miss us all of these years
Did you miss us all of these
All of these years
