Cursing The Night

Lyrics

People always said "Those two ain't anything alike Eddie's such a good boy, James just gets in fights He'll probably be a bum, just like his father was" Eddie sang in the church choir and worked hard after school Jimmy dressed in leather and blew his money playing pool He pretended not to hear the things they used to say behind his back In a room across town, he just stares at the ground Cursing the night, in his brother's candle light Now Jimmy he'd get mad when he heard his brother pray Said "No one's gonna run my life, I'm gonna do things my own way" Must have heard him say that at least a thousand times And he wouldn't take advice, he just kept repeating his mistakes Threw away his future on the choices that he made Always had something to prove, he was gonna be a big man someday In a room across town, he just stares at the ground Cursing the night, in his brother's candle light Nobody has seen him since the day he left He could be on the road somewhere, he could be dead There's a servant in a palace somewhere There's a young girl on the street There's a young man back at home praying for his brother, on his knees And he's thinking about the time Jimmy screamed across the room "You always had it easy, things always came to you People always liked you, you don't know what it means to lose" Eddie finally said, "We never did see eye to eye You can blame me if you want to, for your problems in your life But if you want things to change, it's up to you to choose" In a room across town, he just stares at the ground Cursing the night, in his brother's candle light In a room across town, he just lays with no sound Cursing the night, in his brother's candle light In his brother's candle light
