I'll kill a rose for you
You could watch it dry
The color that it leaves behind
More precious to your eye
I still have your summer evenings
Protected in my mind
I pack away the moments
As you leave them all behind
All the things you saw, brother
Tell them to me
Everything that you know, sister
Give it to me
Broken on the wheel, brother
Blame it on me
This is your reward, sister
Hidden with me
I'll keep my distance
Out beyond the wall
Drifting toward the quiet into
Which everything must fall
You could not tell me where
You wanted me to go
In turn I cannot tell you
Because I do not know
All the things you saw, brother
Tell them to me
Everything that you know, sister
Give it to me
Broken on the wheel, brother
Blame it on me
This is your reward, sister
Hidden with me
Said out loud, it could be the first shot in a very long war
And we find we both lose, were we to choose?
Slide on down, you can tell me the rest of your very long story
Not for the first time, can you spare your last dime?
All the things coming you saw, you saw, brother
Come and tell them to me, you know, you know, sister
You can tell me the rest of your very long story
It could be the first step in a very long journey
All the things coming you saw, you saw, brother
Come and tell them to me, you know, you know, sister
You can tell me the rest of your very long story
It could be the first step in a very long journey
All the things coming you saw, you saw, brother
Come and tell them to me, you know, you know, sister
All the things you saw, brother
Tell them to me
Everything that you know, sister
Give it to me
Broken on the wheel, brother
Blame it on me
This is your reward, sister
Hidden with me
