Light up with me my dear,
Light up.
Under stormy night, tell nobody.
My brother where do you intend to go tonight?
I heard that you missed your connecting flight,
to the blue ridge mountains, over near Tennessee.
You're ever welcome with me any time you like,
Let's drive to the country side, leave behind some green-eyed look-a-likes,
So no one gets worried, no.
So no one gets worried, no.
But Sean don't get callous,
I'm sure it'll be fine.
I love you, I love you,
Oh brother of mine.
In the quivering forest,
Where the shivering dog rests,
I will do it grandfather,
Wilt to wood and end.
And the river got frozen,
And the hole got snowed in,
And near the moon glow ride,
Till the morning light.
Terrible am I child?
Even if you don't mind,
In the quivering forest,
Where the shivering dog rests,
I will do it grandfather,
Wilt to wood and end.
And the river got frozen,
And the hole got snowed in,
And near the moon glow ride,
Till the morning light.
Terrible am I child?
Even if you don't mind,
No.
Light up.
Under stormy night, tell nobody.
My brother where do you intend to go tonight?
I heard that you missed your connecting flight,
to the blue ridge mountains, over near Tennessee.
You're ever welcome with me any time you like,
Let's drive to the country side, leave behind some green-eyed look-a-likes,
So no one gets worried, no.
So no one gets worried, no.
But Sean don't get callous,
I'm sure it'll be fine.
I love you, I love you,
Oh brother of mine.
In the quivering forest,
Where the shivering dog rests,
I will do it grandfather,
Wilt to wood and end.
And the river got frozen,
And the hole got snowed in,
And near the moon glow ride,
Till the morning light.
Terrible am I child?
Even if you don't mind,
In the quivering forest,
Where the shivering dog rests,
I will do it grandfather,
Wilt to wood and end.
And the river got frozen,
And the hole got snowed in,
And near the moon glow ride,
Till the morning light.
Terrible am I child?
Even if you don't mind,
No.

The brother:
"Terrible I am, child.
Even if you don't mind.
No."
Lie down with me, my dear.
Lie down
Under stormy night.
Tell nobody.
My brother, where do you intend to go tonight?
I heard that you missed your connecting flight
To the Blue Ridge Mountains, over near Tennessee.
You're ever welcome with me any time you like.
Let's drive to the countryside, leave behind some green-eyed look-a-likes,
So no one gets worried, no.
So no one gets worried, no.
But Sean, don't get careless.
I'm sure it'll be fine.
I love you, I love you,
Oh brother of mine.
In the quivering forest,
Where the shivering dog rests,
Our good grandfather
Built a wooden nest.
And the river got frozen,
And the home got snowed in,
And a yellow moon glowed bright
Til the morning light.
Terrible I am, child.
Even if you don't mind.
In the quivering forest,
Where the shivering dog rests,
Our good grandfather
Built a wooden nest.
And the river got frozen,
And the home got snowed in,
And a yellow moon glowed bright
Til the morning light.
Terrible I am, child.
Even if you don't mind.
No.
It's more like BrokeBack Mountains for me. Kidding, but somehow the song remember it.
As someone said, this song seems to be a wonderful story between two guys that discovered in each other their sexual options in a early age. Then, Sean went away of the Blue Ridge Mountains to live his own life.
The first lines says that the singer is remembering some memories of his lover.
Destiny brought Sean back. And our narrator is trying to contact with him.
"Let's drive to the country side, leave behind some green-eyed look-a-likes"
Someone green-eyed knows their secret?
"But Sean don't get callous,
I'm sure it'll be fine.
I love you, I love you,
Oh brother of mine."
He is not recognizing his lover, or maybe worried because of his strange behavior. But, he needs to say to himself that everything is ok. And nothing has changed.
The rest of the song seems like memories of narrator's childhood or the time he spent with Sean.
The last lines are beautiful:
"Terrible am I child?
Even if you don't mind,
No."
He may had remembered some mistake he did, and i see Sean needing an explanation. Sean also don't care about his mistake.
This masterpiece for me have a sad ending. Sean never answer the Narrator.
