Brothers for a while In the city of a thousand windows Our future we were told In the palms of our hands And the coffee ground was cold That was before we crossed a mine field We didn't know about An Albanian soldier saved our souls Leading us the safe way out We were brothers for a while Brothers for a while Maybe in our best time From Dingle Bay's so many pubs To Sligo's Shoot The Crows From Galway Bay to Temple Bar We took the road, high and low Through sunshine and through rain We hiked the fields and hills Green under our feet and hearts With pints we had our fill We drove along the highway For 14 hours straight We chased the poets, chased the nights Slept in cars and tents Over night under the sky in a Norwegian fjord Fresh air and strong vodka Cut our evenings short We stood on stage together We drove to Pink Pop too We saw Morphine performing With other crazies, me and you Sitting at the river Watching ships go by Sharing dreams and stories Sharing a bottle wine

surrendered 05:10
Surrendered Yesterday - I remembered you and me - together years ago - in December your smile - I surrendered Every year - I see your eyes your smile - right before me you beside me - all around me feel your skin - on mine here Every now and then - I smell you in the wind - are in my pillow and all I wish - you never lost your crazy spirit - your craziness Today - an old friend told me not knowing - I didn't know it you passed away - years ago while I had you on my mind - alive Tomorrow - I remember you and me - together years ago - in December you are gone - and I surrender

17 times 03:23
17 times 1 time in the bakery 1 time on the way home 1 time having a beer 1 time about a bad decision 1 time watching the news 1 time hearing a joke 1 time out of irony 1 time having a toke 1 time sharing a glass of wine 1 time while making love 1 time after kissing you 1 time by thinking of 1 time for no apparent reason 1 time about the lies 1 time out of relief 1 time about life 1 time with a friend 17 times we laugh a day 17 times we laugh in any way

Keep your tears It's the lies Undoing us Me and you Keep you tears I got my own You want the rain I turn to stone If only broken hearts Can really love It's one of us Love does last And anger fades Blue I feel on a good day Does my hurt Ever go away I don't know, I can't care

about

The album cover was shot in the mid 90s in Himare, Albania, traveling with a friend. The stray dogs gathered there, maybe because the day before a butcher had gutted a goat there, while fighting off the dogs with a piece of wood.
