Album: When Then Is Now 2006

Transcribed by: Nina van der Leest


Intro: Em, D, C, Em 2x
Lady at the lights, young boy beside her
his silence deafening
driving through the stoplight of her life
now she is heard, now she is seen


Verse 1: Em, D C, Em 2x
Woken from his slumber
their dance began
a lifetime's length of guilt, blame and shame
laying at each other’s hands

They’d forgotten each other
they’d forgotten how to laugh
they’d forgotten how to hope and be heard
they’d forgotten how to ask


Chorus: G, D, C, Em 
               G, D, C, D
Oh brother, son, oh mother numb
weep those years of tears and set yourself free
oh brother, son, oh mother numb
weep those years of tears and set yourself free

Ooh Em, D C, Em 2x

Verse 2: Em, D C, Em 2x
Boy at the lights, Mum beside him
her silence deafening
driving through the stoplight of his life
now he is heard, now he is seen

Woken from her slumber
their dance began
a lifetimes length of guilt, blame and shame
laying at each others hands

They'd forgotten each other
they'd forgotten how to laugh
they'd forgotten how to hold and be held
they'd forgotten how to ask


Chorus: G, D, C, Em 
             G, D, C, D
Oh mother son, oh brother numb
weep those years of tears and set yourself free
oh brother son, oh mother numb
weep those years of tears and set yourself free

Ooh Em, D C, Em 2x

Verse 3: Em, D C, Em 1x
Christmas day sinking fast in their handmade cement nest
handmade cement nest.

Em
