about

This was the first song Reid wrote after his brother, Owen, died. It was performed by Reid and Eden at Owen's funeral.

lyrics

When I touched your cold face I’ll never forget
The feeling inside as my mama wept
And when my papa called I fell to the grass
No father should ever have to tell his son his brother has passed

When we cleaned out your room I stole your last pack of cigarettes
I inhaled your life and exhaled your death
The snot and the tears are one in the same
When I realize that I’ll never see my brother again

She holds me at night holds me close to her breast
To lay down my head as we lay him to rest
In the morning I find that forever I could sleep
But I make myself rise cuz I’ve got promises to keep

The wood that we burn is the wood that you cut
The games that we play are the games that you taught
The whiskey we drink is the whisky you loved
The hands that we hold are the hands that you’ve touched

My brother my friend I love you more than you could know
There are hundreds more who have cried as they let you go
On the day I was wed you gave me a kiss
If I didn’t tell the world of your love I'd be remiss

When I touched your cold face I’ll never forget
