Brother, o brother
What have I become?
In the morning I'll be with you and if not then in the morning I'll be gone
Sister, o sister
Where have we been?
In the morning I'll be with you
And if not then in the morning I'll be dead
Once my promises were bent
I never knew quite what they meant
But ever since they turned true
Now they belong to you, they belong to you!
Papa, o papa
What have I become?
In the morning I'll be with you
And if not then in the morning I'll be gone
Mama, o mama
Where have we been?
In the morning I'll be with you
And if not then in the morning I'll be dead
And my words will turn to bones
And build houses out of stones
To start a family all their own
Out of everything I've grown
And I'll never leave you alone!

The Oh Hellos have come to hold a very special place in my heart, not just in this album, but in others as well. Hello My Old Heart was one of the first songs I ever heard by them, and it's been a treasured journey listening to them ever since. ladyoforion
it's such a beautiful album of grieving and loss and acceptance. it speaks to a particular kind of grief -- not a grieving of one who is lost, but the grieving for one who is still present and still causing pain. i love the last song most because while it could end in pain, or end with the narrators decision to permanently push this person out of their life and that would be justified, it doesn't. instead, it offers something. what is offered? acceptance. hope. and a chance for redemption janmisha
