Lyrics
Ghost Brother
by Greg Marchant
[Spoken Intro]
Ghost brother, what went wrong?
[Verse 1]
The wars we fought together.
The wars we fought alone.
We shared the battlefields.
We always came home.
The times you were lost.
The times I was found.
We shared a secret language.
We were always homeward bound.
[Chorus]
Ghost brother walks
Ghost brother sees
Ghost brother talks
Just not to me
Why do you hate me?
Why don’t you care?
Why won’t you tell me?
God, this isn’t fair.
[Bridge]
When we drifted apart
I never thought it would last
We’d be drinking again
Like we did in the past
We’d be brothers again
We’d come home
[Chorus]
Ghost brother walks
Ghost brother sees
Ghost brother talks
Just not to me
Why do you hate me?
Why don’t you care?
Why won’t you tell me?
God, this isn’t fair.
[Verse 2]
The times you were singing
The times I played along
We shared the concert venues
We shared the rock show songs.
The loves we danced together
The loves we danced alone
We shared the relationships
We always came back home
[Chorus]
Ghost brother walks
Ghost brother sees
Ghost brother talks
Just not to me
Why do you hate me?
Why don’t you care?
Why won’t you tell me?
God, this isn’t fair.
