lyrics

Miles shuffles in to his favourite restaurant
Every Sunday morning, he’s become a real savant
Of the classified section, and white ceramic mugs
And the rings that they leave
Like a woman out of love

Lost a buddy in the middle of June
September rains came much too soon
Tries to sing but the tune won’t seem to land

And he says ‘Brother, I owe you this song’

Rides a second-hand Harley Davidson
Only takes it out on the pavement when
The ground is dry as the Arizona sand
He vows to never take life for granted
But things can change from the way that you planned it
Life can just slip away like rain through your hand

And he says ‘Brother, I owe you this song’

Miles drives out to the cranberry farm
Throws a few bags into the barn
With his eyes, says ‘I wish I could do more’
She put on a smile that day
Oh but deep inside she’s still miles away
Says, ‘Thank you, boys, your backs must be awful sore’

And he says ‘Brother, I owe you this song’

Another summer’s come again
June comes around like a long-lost friend
Blackbird sings a melody so true
Miles finds every single note
For this bird song is one he wrote
Blackbird flies away into the blue

Brother, I owe you this song
And he says ‘Brother, I owe you this song’
And he says ‘Brother, I owe you this song’
