Steve Tannen - Brother Uptown lyrics

I should have called ‘cause she was awake She opened the door and the look on her face said I got company And at the black eyed bodega by the catholic school I drink to get drunk on that Cuban Mule Makes you feel like your heart is on fire Chorus: It's a cold, cold night to wander around I see my future in flights of birds Hey hey, have you been down 'cause I've been down I'm gonna go see my brother uptown He slips money in my jeans and thinks I don't see I play along and pretend I'm asleep on the floor It's no more than an 8x10 sanctuary And it's late in the day and late in the year And god only knows how they sky is still clear 'Cause you won't get it back 'cause the money's been spent And the chances of rain are 100 percent Repeat chorus Who is gonna save me from everything you gave me Everywhere I went I was sent there by you You pray for rain then you wish it would stop You hate your family and then they're all that you've got Unfurl in the wind you know it runs east to west I follow his footsteps down to Amsterdam Where the streets are so wide put the wind in your hair And if I knew where I should go I would go there
