Lyrics Once Were Brothers - Robbie Robertson

Once Were Brothers

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
