the man from the mine

words by dan self & grahm doughty

you were the man from the mine
the grape from the vine
you were a soldier
and i, i was a brother of yours
and you were a brother of mine

though winter dissolves into springtime
and snow melts to radiant sunlight
this lantern reveals no brother of mine

there is no 13th story
there is no fame or glory
there is no recollection of
the vineyard or the mountainside

o brother can you hear me
o brother are your free from
crippling weight of nation’s pride
the shot, the cry, your death, and mine

they lowered you into the earth
the day before dear david’s birth
his breath, your lasting legacy
your son, my son, our father’s dream

and all the children mourn the loss of
brother, father, husband, son
the children now together weep for
the man from the man from the man from the mine

there is no 13th story
there is no fame or glory
there is no recollection of
the vineyard or the mountainside

o brother can you hear me
o brother are your free from
crippling weight of nation’s pride
march on, march on

when i say that i’m fine
it’s a lie, it’s a lie
when i say that i’m fine
it’s a lie, it’s a lie

it’s a nowhere catastrophare
it’s a nowhere catastrophare
it’s a nowhere catastrophare
it’s a nowhere catastrophare

it’s a nowhere catastrophare
it’s a nowhere catastrophare
send the sons back to their mothers
if they don’t first kill each other

is this the final story?
is there new life before me?
march on to california
march on, march on!

and with your hands that hold me
i’m gonna raise this family
david you gotta trust me!
march on, march on!
