tom robinson – blood brother lyrics
ben was born in lincoln county
and he grew up in the fens
teased and bullied by his brothers
in a family of ten
sociable and easygoing
helping out around the home
while his inner life ticked on
like an unexploded bomb
just waiting for his moment
(open your eyes…)
(open your eyes…)
going shopping with his mother
like a whippet on the leash
always straining at the traces
out of sight and out of reach
and anytime the house was empty
he would work out on his own
disappearing on his bike
in the middle of the night
and stealing from the kitchen
open your eyes…
open your eyes…
open your eyes… here i am
i’m your blood brother
well he saved up his allowance
and he studied like a slave
worked his passage to australia
to try and make his getaway
i was single when i met him
he was bitter and nineteen
oh, but he so reminded me
of someone i used to be
a long time ago
open your eyes…
open your eyes…
open your eyes… here i am
i’m your blood brother
(open your eyes…)
now the years have been and vanished
and i’ve lost a lot of friends
i do twenty at the pool
and take the kids to school
now the party’s had to end;
but at a benefit last sunday
we met again, as if by fate
i barely recognised ben
when he grabbed me again
and whispered in my ear
open your eyes…
open your eyes…
open your eyes… here i am
i’m your blood brother
open your eyes…
open your eyes…
open your eyes… here i am
i’m your blood brother
