Back Alive Lyrics by The Roustabouts

Little Brother

2016

[Verse 1: Jon Licht]
Well it was the first time
That you caught my eye
On the grass with your legs crossed
On the fourth of July
Well we loaded the boat
With smoke and hellfire
I died in those moments
A deadly desire
[Chorus: Jon Licht]
And there isn't much to say
Just watch my words as they turn to stone
I've waited patiently
I've watched the world pass me by
The wind takes the spark away
The night sends a shiver through our bones
If I'm dreaming of home thеse dreams will do
I found my place in еverything
I'm in that place when I'm with you
[Verse 2: Jon Licht]
So let's head down the west side
Leave the north shore behind
We'll go to Ann Arbor
Where the people are kind
Now the radio plays
A score to our sin
Our feet tap the rhythm
Hands and hearts are free
[Chorus: Jon Licht]
But there isn't much to say
Just watch my words as they turn to stone
I've waited patiently
I've watched the world pass me by
The wind takes the spark away
The night sends a shiver through our bones
If I'm dreaming of home these dreams will do
I found my place in everything
I'm in that place when I'm with you
[Verse 3: Jon Licht]
Now the glass door slides open
Gray clouds fill the air
Your dress drifts behind you
With your sandstone hair
Now the storm gives us comfort
A reason to be
The crack of the thunder
My family
[Chorus: Jon Licht]
And there isn't much to say
Just watch my words as they turn to stone
I've waited patiently
I've watched the world pass me by
The wind takes the spark away
The night sends a shiver through our bones
If I'm dreaming of home these dreams will do
I found my place in everything
I know that place is here with you
I'm in that place when I'm with you
