Across that river is a brother I knew
Once long ago
I can feel his shadow on the edges of my mind
in the tracks, in the snow
Across that river is a beating heart
I used to know
but the wind cut deep
And I drifted by
Tell me where'd he go?
Cause I used to hold his heart in my open palms
But the troubles come and the callouses growing
Pulled apart when I turned my back
Saw the tracks and I knew that I'd lost him
The winter rolled in
And the cold came running
Till the rapids stopped
He turned to me said
"Brother let's gun it"
"This could be our shot"
I felt his heart beat oh so quickly
There standing on the shore
But my blood froze and I felt so sickly
Shook me to the core
And I used to hold his heart in my open palms
But the troubles come and the callouses growing
Pulled apart when I turned my back
Saw the tracks and I knew that I'd lost him
Pulled apart in my open palms
But the troubles come and the callouses growing
Oh brother I see now
We just held eachother down
Across the river the echoes sound
If only we
Could us now
We were one
Oh but we were young
I wanted what you did
But intentions are fluid
And there I was
My shadow on the ground
Who I was
Oh and who I am now
Cause I used to hold his heart in my open palms
And the troubles come and the callouses growing
Pulled apart when I turned back
And I saw the tracks I knew that I'd lost him
Across the river is a promise I broke
Oh the sacred law
But I made my choice
And the rapids are coming
As the winters thaw
Across the river is a brother I was
Once in the past
But the ice is thin and the wind is bitter
I can't make it back
Cause I used to hold my heart in my open palms
And the troubles come and the callouses growing
Pulled apart when I turned my back
Saw the tracks and I knew I'd lost it
