	Story Behind the Song A year after writing the chorus, my car started overheating on the West Side Drive on the way to a gig. I wrote a verse each time I had to pull over on the 4 mile, 90 minute drive. Lyrics Brothers My brother is a dark-eyed gentle man We see each other when we can For dinner or some music But theres always been this tension Neither mentions It and then The conversation dies down And I think sometimes its just as well We live in different towns CHORUS: Some say were like day and night The Southern Cross and the Northern Lights Hes half a world away from me Still hes half the world to me And doesnt even know it When we were young we fought till our mom cried Forgave each other when she died And swore wed try to close the gap And though we both are loyal And enjoy each others triumphs We dont understand them well And each others friends are ciphersAnd each others heaven hell CHORUS I recently got married high upon a hill My brother spoke as brothers will About growing up behind me And when the vows were over He broke down on my shoulder I was not prepared And I held him as he crossed the distance I had never dared CHORUS © 1986 Hugh Blumenfeld/Hydrogen Jukebox Music
