When I've touched your cold face
I'll never forget
The feeling inside
As my mama wept
And then my papa called
I fell to the grass
No father should ever have to tell a son his brother is passed

When we cleaned out your room I stole your last pack of cigarettes
I inhaled your life and exhaled your death
The snot and the tears are one and the same
When I realized that I'll never see my brother again

She hold me at night
Holds me close to her breast
To lay down my head as you lay down to rest
In the morning I thought that forever i could sleep
But I make myself rise 'cause I got promises to keep

The wood that we've burned
Is the wood that you cut
The games that we play
Are the games that you taught
The whiskey we drink
Is the whiskey you loved
The hands that we hold
Are the hands that you've touched

My brother, my friend, I love you more than you could know
There are hundreds more who have cried as they let you go
On the day I was dead
You gave me a kiss
If I didn't tell the world of your love I'd be remissed

When I touched your cold face
