In This River...

My brother Charlie -&- I may not be the closest siblings in the world
-but-
one thing we do share
-&-
hold very close to us were two very amazing parents!?!

We lost our Dad about 9.5 years ago -&- as the pain has proven to grow distant it has never truly gone away...
it just lingers in the back ground -&- sneaks up -&- takes hold of you when you least expect it!?!

This was the case with my brother yesterday...!?!

Out of the blue he sent me an e-mail reminiscing about our Dad...

(My Dad -&- Brother 1970)

...in this email he referred to the following song...
since I had never heard it before -
I took a listen...
-&-
...I must say that I really love
-&-
can now understand what he was saying that
"Every time I hear this song it reminds me of Dad"...

Here are the lyrics:

I've been around this world, Yet I see no end.
All shall fade to black again and again.
This storm that’s broken me, my only friend.
Yeah

In this river all shall fade to black
In this river ain't no coming back
In this river all shall fade to black
Ain't no coming back

Withdraw a step away, just to find my self
The door is closed again, the only one left
This storm that’s broken me my only friend
Yeah

In this river all shall fade to black
In this river ain't no coming back
In this river all shall fade to black


In this river all shall fade to black
In this river ain't no coming back
In this river all shall fade to black

Ain't no coming back


In this river all shall fade to black
In this river ain't no coming back
In this river all shall fade to black


In this river all shall fade to black
In this river ain't no coming back
In this river all shall fade to black


Ain't no coming back


Today I am thankful for Big Brothers!?!
I ♥ you - Charles William Knight!?!
