Nothing But A Song Lyrics - Great Big Sea

A brother can be difficult 

a blessing and a curse 

but living life without one 

is something far worse. 

Together in fraternity, 

a sentence set for life, 

laced with petty rivalries 

and ready for a fight. 

Where nothing's ever left unsaid, 

and the battle lines are drawn. 

Promises are broken; 

attack and get it done. 

Weapons drawn and ready, 

and who will fire first? 

Hands, strong and steady, 

hit exactly where it hurts. 

CHORUS: 

You never leave a love so rare. 

You never leave a love so long. 

Remember that the life we share 

is nothing but a song. 

Oh, you put on a happy face 

for every body new, 

but the closest to your heart 

so rarely get the best of you. 

A moment's contradiction 

and the bickering's begun, 

daughters after mothers 

and fathers on their sons. 

But, you never leave a love so rare. 

You never leave a love so long. 

Remember how the life we share, 

remember how the life we share 

is nothing but a song. 

Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh 

Ahh Ahh Ahh 

Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh 

Ahh Ahh Ahh 

You never leave a love so rare. 

You never leave a love so long. 

Remember that the life we share, 

remember that the life we share, 

remember that the life we share 

is nothing but a song. 

Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh 

Ahh Ahh Ahh 

Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh 

Ahh Ahh Ahh
