lyrics

Oh Abraham, Where have you gone
You went out through the back door to the setting sun
With a spoon full of oil from a paper bag
It looked just like the medicine and tasted just as bad

you wanted something that's solid gold
But sometimes the brightest things are better left untold

Cause the pretty things come with pain
and you can watch them roll away
or you can wonder round the back roads
til your feet land in their place

Oh Brother John, What have you done
You fought your way through the pain now your body's torn
Once was a giant brought down to his knees
With his index finger raised he tests the strength of the breeze

you wanted something that's solid gold
but the illness of age makes the bright seem dull

Cause the prettiest things decay
and you can watch them roll away
or you can wonder round the back roads
til your feet land in their place
