lyrics

I Knew Your Brother

I knew your brother so well
And your mother, none could tell
How we’d got to be such friends
Yes, I knew her ’til the end

And your father, he too
Came around there, and I knew
All about him, by and by
And I knew his violent side

And you, oh you
Were the one I hardly knew
Though we’d steal away to get stoned
Still I always felt alone

Near the rocks, where you broke your knee
Was a burning maple tree
And the fledgling minivets
Were all leaping from the nest

Driving in, on that final day
It all seemed so out of place
In the planter by the shed
I saw your tie-neck blouse in shreds

You came running across the sand
With a brick held in each hand
The cabana was in flames
You were screaming out my name

about

Bodies of Water Los Angeles, California

“Bodies Of Water's music is a slippery conflation of punk spirit, folk expressionism, bombastic theatricality and old-fashioned testifying. It's like a church social gone horribly awry..."
