Little Brother's Gone

[Verse] Little Brother lay by the hearth's warm glow Dreams of streetlights And moonlight's soft show Paws that tiptoe on the midnight stones Always out again Where the wild grass grows [Verse 2] Latch on the door A creak and a groan Evenings we search Through shadows unknown Whiskers twitch at the slightest sound Little Brother's out there Prowlin' 'round [Chorus] Little Brother's gone Out beneath the moon Dark alley whispers Hum an untamed tune He’ll be back by dawn Just as sure’s the night is long But tonight Little Brother's gone [Verse 3] Down by the creek where the willow weeps Past the old barn where secrets keep Our hearts hold onto his fleeting reign As he dances through the night's domain [Bridge] Stars watch over A silent night Silent paws In the silvered light While we wait 'neath the old oak tree Hoping he'll return Wild but free [Chorus] Little Brother's gone Out beneath the moon Dark alley whispers Hum an untamed tune He’ll be back by dawn Just as sure’s the night is long But tonight Little Brother's gone
