Brother's Keeper

First of October, the summer's over
 The leaves are falling all around my door
 The midnight walking, early morning talking
 Can't you hear us whispering, walking 'cross your floor?
 Walking on your floor
 ♪
 Well, I'm going deeper, my brother's keeper
 I'm looking out for him the best I can
 He's getting older, the year is colder
 Got to lean a little closer now, hear what he's saying
 Hear what he says
 ♪
 We'll go out rambling all through the brambling
 Long shadows falling far out ahead
 The rose hips have grown now, the year is in slowdown
 Your long hair and long dress, let them fall for me
 Let them fall for me
 ♪
 And will you wait for me to come home?
 Will you wait for me?
 ♪
 Brother, put that weight on me
 Brother, put that weight on me
 Great works don't lie there, grind up and dry there
 They wait for impatiently your hands to find
 Leaf through the pages, can't you feel the ages?
 Rise up like dust now in the sunlight there
 In the sunlight
 ♪
 And will you wait for me to come home?
 Will you wait for me?
 Brother, put that weight on me
 Brother, put that weight on me
 Sister, put that weight on me
 Sister, put that weight on me
 I'm going deeper
 My brother's keeper
 I'm looking out for him
 The best I can
