Eddie Vedder - Brother the Cloud lyrics

[Verse 1] I had a brother But now my brother is gone Oh, I search the sky for a Glimpse of his blue eyes And there I find His image in the clouds [Chorus] If I could wish, wish it away I would bleed out my knees and pray If I could give all that I have To bring him back today These are but dreams As sad as it seems I'm always wide awake [Verse 2] Oh, I understand It was not easy for my friend Oh, promises Even to yourself cannot be kept Enlarge the hole in my heart Rising river in the dark Erodes the shore 'Til our shores were far apart [Chorus] If I could wish, wish it away I would bleed out my knees and pray If I could give all that I have To bring him back today These are but dreams As sad as it seems They never go away [Bridge] There's no previous reference For this level of pain, mm I can't feign indifference Can't look away The years, they go by The hurt, I still hide If I look okay, it's just the outside There's no previous reference For this level of pain Oh, I can hear him sing [Chorus] If I could wish, wish it away I would bleed out my knees and pray If I could give all that I have To bring back yesterday These are but dreams As sad as it seems They never go away These are but dreams As sad as it seems I'm always wide awake [Outro] And I would not wish upon you But should you ever leave this earth Before me, I doubt this highly Do for me what I'd do for you Put your arm around my friend Put your arm around my friend Put your arm 'round my brother, my friend Say for me, for me, for me, fu*k you (fu*k you) fu*k you What are friends? What are friends, friends for? What are friends? What are friends? What are friends for?
