Oysterband Little Brother lyrics

Every path will hit a brick wall
Every space is just a box
First he's happy Like a puppy
Then he's hurting Like an ox
Tips the scales at ninety kilos
Seventeen and six foot two
Little brother runs his mother down
Just passing through

Tender-minded, oh so kind
He Loves to be with you
Anywhere you go he'll stick like glue

Does he love me, does he know me?
Smacks me in the head to show me
Living for the moment but the never comes
Living for the moment but the moment…
Never comes

She lays her head down in the kitchen
All the things she's thinking of
Mother sighs and wonders why
She's stuck with everlasting Love

Any awkward time or place
His eyes'll start to drift
Then he bites his lip and will not shift

Does he love me, does he know me?

Smacks me in the head to show me
Does he know me, does he hear me
Even when he stands so near me?
Living for the moment but the moment never comes
Living for the moment but the moment…

And he's watching the birds
They're swooping in clouds, like words
They come to rest in someone else's tree

And I'm down on my knees
Give me the patience please
Not to fly away and think I'm free

Does he love me, does he know me?
Smacks me in the head to show me
Does he know me, does he hear me
Even when he stands so near me?
Living for the moment but the moment never comes
Living for the moment but the moment never comes
He's living for the moment but the moment never comes
Living for the moment but the moment…

All that hunger, Love and anger bottled up in eyes of blue
that can't see someone else's point of view
