Earl & Duke

Earl and Duke are brothers In everything but blood Different thoughts and instincts For the one that they both love First time out together Northwest flags unfurled The chapel of the roses The other side of the world Watched him lay the flowers Never said a word Then Duke had to leave Earl Fly away on a silver bird Fighting on the TV Male pride to defend As he counts the precious seconds That he needs to be with them And we have to kid ourselves Cos you're too precious to lose Your spirit still in place Even when the drugs aren't much use I'll love you anyway You are my boy and I'm your Duke Buddy, can you hear me? As we reach the end Forever my best friend But it's time to be free again Baby boy Baby boy
