[Verse 1] I remember my sister Flowers in her hair She told us not to race Not to run past there She climbed the hill first Laughing at the wind Then she called us home And we followed in [Pre-Chorus] We kept the berry stains On our little hands Smooth stones in our pockets Like a secret land Mother’s voice would carry Through the hush at dusk And the bushes kept What they knew of us [Chorus] If songs remember our names Let them remember hers first If songs remember our names Let them remember him first A sister’s call, a brother’s reply Under that wide, watching sky If songs remember our names Let them remember us [Verse 2] I remember my brothers Running through the grass Shoulder to shoulder Trying to make it last We hid by the branches Till the fire burned low And every story told Was one we used to know [Pre-Chorus] I still hear it now Soft and clear in dreams Your voice made the far Feel nearer than it seemed And the night would open Like a door of blue When you said my name I came right to you [Chorus] If songs remember our names Let them remember hers first If songs remember our names Let them remember him first A sister’s call, a brother’s reply Under that wide, watching sky If songs remember our names Let them remember us [Bridge] Now the fields are quiet But they’re not gone Every stone still shines Where our hands were young I can almost see you At the top of the hill Calling me home again Calling me still [Final Chorus] If songs remember our names Let them remember hers first If songs remember our names Let them remember him first A sister’s call, a brother’s reply Under that wide, watching sky If songs remember our names Let them remember us
