I’m sat here talking to the man at the road
He says have you heard the news?
Today my only brother flew away to the moon
I said I never knew
He said I sold his only papers to the places that would take them
But I might still have a few
I said i don’t want to take them but I’ll read them if you’re asking me to
And he said...
He said you’ll break them if you buy them so I’ll tell you all the things he would do
My brother wanted silence so he made a wall of cloth in his room
But it didn’t stop the creaking so he’d know if anyone had come through
He loved the manzanita and the oranges he would feed them to you
But our father sold the cabin and it came with all the oranges too
It was always hard to reach him when he went out on the weekends with you
