Dream Brother


Watch the live Video Clip here


There is a child sleeping near his twin
The pictures go wild in a rush of wind
That dark angel he is shuffling in
Watching over them with his black feather wings unfurled

The love you lost with her skin so fair
Is free with the wind in her butterscotch hair
Her green eyes blew goodbyes
With her head in her hands
and your kiss on the lips of another
Dream Brother with your tears scattered round the world.

Don’t be like the one who made me so old
Don’t be like the one who left behind his name
‘Cause they’re waiting for you like I waited for mine
And nobody ever came…

Don’t be like the one who made me so old
Don’t be like the one who left behind his name
‘Cause they’re waiting for you like I waited for mine
And nobody ever came…

Don’t be like the one who made me so old
Don’t be like the one who left behind his name
‘Cause they’re waiting for you like I waited for mine
Nobody ever came
Nobody ever…

I feel afraid and I call your name
I love your voice and your dance insane
I hear your words and I know your pain
With your head in your hands and her kiss on the lips of another
Your eyes to the ground and the world spinning round forever
Asleep in the sand with the ocean washing over
Asleep in the sand with the ocean washing over
Asleep in the sand with the ocean washing over

Ah do you meet the one I love
and smell the one who loves you
Dream brother, dream brother, dream, dream
dream asleep in the sand with the ocean washing over

    looks like a very special cat!

    Oh he is Devan. :) Jordy is about 10 years old. If you look close you will notice he doesn’t have any ears. Probably not so obvious in this photo. He got skin cancer when he was about 5 and had to have them both removed. He is a really big boy too, lean and big I mean. Yet he is just a big old smooch. I have photos of him laying on my back with me laying on my tummy on the lawn. If he can get close to you … he will get as close as he can!! He can’t resist snuggles as often as he can get them :)

    VBS. Jordy loves to climb Belinda (can be a bad thing at times) and he just used to love climbing this tree in my chook yard and flopping on the fork up there created by all the branches coming off. So I used a small pallet thingy I had in there for the chooks to feed off and made him his very own little cubby house. He loves it and usually if I call him and he doesn’t come, I can go in here and find him dead to the world up there :) :) The smoke was me burning off some old garden cuttings and the wind was fairly still and the sun in just the right place to cause this heavenly effect :) :)

    I love this shot Craig! Jordy looks so comfortable in his cubby. I have a big fluffy boy ragdoll who likes to lie in my arms while I whisper sweet nothings in his ear. :o)

    I received my print the other day, along with the t-shirts. I was ecstatic; it’s so much more beautiful up close. Thank-you a thousand times for making such a thing of moving beauty.
