Brother Tongue Lyrics by Ben Abraham

Friendly Fire

2022

[Verse 1]
Aren't all the lights in the night sky pretty?
Aren't we so small in this tiny city?
Aren't we absurd thinking gestures and words might explain us?
We are piles of dust articulating chaos
[Pre-Chorus]
And maybe in the sand
We find a steady hand
[Chorus]
Talk to me in brother tongue
Tell me where this nature from
Show me how this river run
Teach me how to sing my song
The lust and the long
The lust and the long
[Verse 2]
How is it that I can feel you breathing?
Head on your chest where your heart is beating
The pieces assemble, but don't complete us
And whole galaxies live in the spaces between us
[Pre-Chorus]
Pour me out like sand
Until we start again
[Chorus]
Talk to me in brother tongue
Tell me where this nature from
Show me how this river run
Teach me how to sing this song
The lust and the long
The lust and the long
[Outro]
Pour me out like sand
Until we start again
Talk to me in brother tongue
Tell me where this nature from
Show me how this river run
Teach me how to sing my song
The lust and the long
The lust and the long
