Brother Was A Runaway

Brother was a runaway

He ran to Amsterdam

I was nine years old

He called out to me

On that day

I was walking in the woods

I didn't realise when he said goodbye

He meant goodbye for good

Brother was a runaway

He ran to Kristiansand

I was seven years old

He called out to me on that day

But my head was in my books

I didn't realise when he said goodbye

He meant goodbye for good

A coin in my hand, I spun it across a map

To see where it would land

Amsterdam, Kristiansand, Aspen, Inverness

Sierra Leone, Victorialand

It was any brother's guess

Alice Springs, Calgary, Twin Falls, Inverness

Sierra Leone, Victorialand

It was any brother's guess

Brother was a runaway, he's still running today

I wish him the best
