"Unknown Brother" lyrics - THE BLACK KEYS

Though I never met you
And we spoke not a word
I'll never forget you
Through stories that I have heard
For you unknown brother
My baby's mother's pained
Because your soul is in heaven
But your memory remains

[Chorus:]
Unknown, unknown brother
I'll meet you someday
Unknown, unknown brother
We'll walk through fields where children play

Your eyes shined bright
When you were a kid
Your sisters loved you
And all that you did
Big brother, big brother
Don't worry a bit
Your flame has not faded
Since the day it was lit

[Bridge:]
Your life was joy
Your mama's only boy
And when the skies are blue
Big brother, they're blue for you

We'll smile like pictures
Of you as a boy
Before you retired
To heavenly joy

[Chorus:]
Unknown, unknown brother
I'll meet you someday
Unknown, unknown brother
We will walk through fields where children play
