lyrics

Faded Photograph
H&S Owens

My brother was born an only child in the southern USA
He made his way into this world on a cold December day
He grew up in a timber house that stood beside the sea
But he never ever had the time to stay and play with me

And I know, for I’ve been told
I can see my mama cry, I can hear her laugh
Her heart was won by another son
I only have her stories and a faded photograph

They say he was a happy boy who always had a friend
But a story just beginning was soon to have an end
He woke one summer’s mornin’, his legs were stiff and sore
Before the year had ended, he never woke no more

CHORUS

I grew up your shadow, I did the best I could
I hung on to your memory just like a brother should
Mama said she loved me, and I guess it’s true
But nothin’ ever rose above the love she had for you

CHORUS
