Single Review: Brennan Gilmore – New Sudan | Listen to Rock

Lyrics of Brennan Gilmore – New Sudan

I remember the village, by the riverside
And my mother’s yellow dress, where I used to hide.
Now the sun shines on me, for all to see
No dress to hide behind, not the place to be.

I might not make it through, I’m not the only one
Soldiers at the border like to have their fun.
There are no free riders, there’s no easy way
Lie down on the desert sands, until I’m blown away.

Oh my sister, where are you now?
Dear brother, have you been found?

Heard my brother’s in the city, I made it just halfway
Drawn in by the fires, in the camps I stayed.
Someday we’ll all be together, those cooking fires will die
I will meet my sister, and hold her when she cries.

Oh my sister, where are you now?
Dear brother, have you been found?

And when the night comes, blackbirds fill the sky
A million stars where I can hide

Can’t answer when you ask me, no way to understand
Lie down by the riverside, in the New Sudan.
Walk all night on the cattle path, never see a light
Past or present I cannot tell, hope I get it right.

Oh my sister, where are you now?
Dear brother, have you been found?

My sister, where are you now?
Dear brother, have you been found?
