I Knew Your Brother

I knew your brother so well
And your mother, none could tell
How we'd got to be such friends
Yes, I knew her 'til the end

And your father, he too
Came around there, and I knew
All about him, by and by
And I knew his violent side

And you, oh you
Were the one I hardly knew
Though we'd steal away to get stoned
Still, I always felt alone

Near the rocks where you broke your knee
Was a burning maple tree
And the fledgling minivets
Were all leaping from their nest

Driving in, that day
It all seemed so out of place
In the planter by the shed
I saw your tie-neck blouse in shreds

You came running across the sand
With a brick held in each hand
The cabana was in flames
You were screaming out my name
