And As For You (Alt. Version) Lyrics by Oysterband

This House Will Stand: The Best of Oysterband (1998-2015)

0

[Verse 1]
And as for you
Where were you when I needed you?
You just look at me like you see but you can't recall
I could name the day I heard you say
"Remember me—
I'll be there for you, I swear if you ever fall"
[Chorus]
Time goes out of mind
Who gets left behind?
Should I call you brother now?
[Verse 2]
The razor suits that you wear
Your calculated air
A worried smile of a man reinvented
No more words now for you like "forever"
You said "forever"
But that was never what you meant
[Chorus]
Time goes out of mind
Who gets left behind?
Should I call you brother now?
Time goes out of mind
Who gets left behind?
Should I call you brother now?
[Bridge]
And when I fell, as humans do
I reached for hands to pull me through
I had a friend on whom I thought I could depend
But where were you?
[Chorus]
Time goes out of mind
Who gets left behind?
Brother, should I call you brother now?
Brother now
Time goes out of mind
Who gets left behind?
Brother, should I call you brother now?
Brother now
[Outro]
Time goes out of mind
