The Stronger the Tree

(E.Frencham)

You’re smiling at me brother
Wish I had a smile for you
My pockets all are empty
I feel a little blue
We’ve both played our guitars in bars
Where no one listens to our song
But I can hear you, brother
and your friendship keeps me strong

Me and my sisters never talk much
of demons dwelling deep
Lingering in bedrooms
When he thought we were asleep
And though my mother sent him packing
By the time I turned eighteen
I wondered if we’d ever make it right
If we’d ever would feel clean

But I’ll always remember
what you said to me
The stronger the wind
The stronger the tree

So I found myself a fire
To melt the ice around this heart
But he left to warm a lover far away
and I almost fell apart
Now I have to leave my refuge
Just pay the bills
Oh dreams slip through my fingers every day
But I’ll keep on dreaming still
For I’ll…

Now we’re washin’ memories one by one
In this tiny motel sink
For life on the road my friend
Is not as pretty as you’d think
And I’m wondering my brother
Will that kindred soul I seek
Be listening at the bar to my guitar tonight
or keep me waiting ‘til next week
But I’ll…
