Robbie Robertson - Once Were Brothers lyrics

When the light goes out and you can't go on
You miss your brothers but now they're gone

When the light goes out we go our own way
Nothing here but darkness no reason to stay

Oh, once we're brothers brothers no more
We lost a connection after the war

There'll be no revival
There'll be no one cold once were brothers
Brothers no more

When that curtain comes down
We'll let go of the past
Tomorrow's another day
Some things weren't meant to last

When that curtain comes down
On the final act
And you know, you know deep inside
There's no goin' back

Once were brothers brothers no more
We lost our way after the war

Can't even remember what we're fighting for
When once were brothers brothers no more

We already had it out
Between the north and south
When we heard all the laughts
Comin' out of your mouth

But we stood together
Like we were next of kin
And when the band played dixie
(Dixie, dixie, dixie) dixie marchin' in

Once were brothers brothers no more
We lost our connection after the war

There'll be no revival there'll be no encore
Once were brothers brothers no more
