Little Brother Lyrics

David Knopfler Little Brother

Well, little brother, I can't leave you alone no more
'Cause I just cannot trust myself to trust in you no more
Little brother, little brother, I'm sorry, so very sorry

Hey Doctor, look now I'm completely cured
'Cause I just cannot feel passion anymore
No Doctor, I feel so completely cured

It's been a weight on my mind, strain upon my heart
No less now I've had to keep our worlds apart
Can't fake confession, I don't get relieve
I don't know how you can get out of this thing

You should have run
You still had the chance
Learning now you have to do the mystery dance
Yes, the one way dance

Yes, the dance of silences
Eyes averted to the floor
The dance of ghosts
In the dance of last year's shadows
You're gonna do that one the most
You're gonna need to learn love that one
You'll do that one the most

Well, little brother, somehow we're apart
But still the same cold switch blade
Lies up against my heart
I don't care who lit the fuel
Who gets to play which parts you can't refuse
Please, my little brother, he's an echo of my love
An echo of my love, my love
