Lyrics Great Big Sea

Great Big Sea

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.

Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh

Ahh Ahh Ahh

Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh

Ahh Ahh Ahh

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.

Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh

Ahh Ahh Ahh

Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh

Ahh Ahh Ahh
