Allen is about my twin brother. We grew up together with a lots of fun and joy and with an amazing connection that most twins have. And so, this is a song about my memories/ love for him and how I miss him. He died in a fire while trying to save our mom. While I grieve them both, this song is about Allen. It is about the very part of me now missing, and which all twins miss when their twin passes.
Lyrics
We grew up together- We grow up good and strong
We were fine twin brothers - Our hearts were one and one
I loved you then, I love you now
There was such a funny year - Our dad moved us downtown
Hockey played with wire and socks - With laughter running ‘round’
I loved you then, I love you now.
Away from home we're off to school - It didn’t suit you well
Picked a fight with everyone - As best as I could tell
I loved you then, I love you now
Fires burn brightly, Fines burn bright
Fires take friends away, Away on awful nights
Ashes then, Ashes Now
I miss you - It hurts - Your gone
Years they passed with kids and wives - A 40, birthday song
I kissed you on that birthday night - The last one to pass on
I loved you then, I love you now.
Fires burn brightly, Fines burn bright
Fires take friends away, Away on awful nights
Ashes then, Ashes Now
I miss you - It hurts - Your gone
