Brother

I stumbled through the undergrowth
And came upon a strange mystery
For right before my eyes
Was the most beautiful woman I've ever seen
She said, you've come a long way, Mr. tired, I know

Oh, brother, you've got a long way to go

From the moment I set eyes on her
I just wanted her for my own
And when she started singing
I just wanted, take her home
She said, how can you be such a fool?
To want my body, not what I know

Oh, brother, you've got a long way to go

That's when I realised
She was not like you or me
Her lips were cherry wine
She had wings like the gypsy queen
She said you'll always reap the things that you will sow

Oh, brother, you've got a long way to go

I could feel the mystic power
That she had at her commands
And my instincts told me
That she would never, ever do me any harm
And I knew she could see through me
Right down to me bones

Oh, brother, you've got a long way to go

And then she disappeared
The same way she had come
And I walked into that park
Amongst the leaves and the sun
I struggled to my feet and started walking down the road

Oh, brother, you've got a long way to go

I tried so hard
To contact that gypsy queen
And no matter how far, wide, I looked, she was nowhere to be seen
But I'll always remember what she said me, I know

Oh, brother, you've got a long way to go
Oh, brother, you've got a long way to go
Oh, brother, you've got a long way to go
