Nine months apart, but we came like a pair, Two little storms in the same family air, You ran ahead, I followed close behind, Two wild hearts with one childhood mind. We laughed too loud, we fought, we’d make it right, Shared the same mornings, shared the same night, Irish blood and a house full of song, I never thought one half could be gone. Pre-Chorus And I still turn around like you’re walking in, With that smile, that joke, that old familiar grin, But the room stays still, and the silence starts, Where you used to live inside my heart. Chorus We were Irish twins, nine months apart, Two beats running from the same old heart, You were my brother, my mirror, my friend, The story I thought would never end. Now I carry you where the green winds blow, In every song only we would know, You left too fast, but love stays true, My Irish twin, I still walk with you. Verse 2 There are memories folded in every year, Some make me smile, some bring you near, Camping songs and family days, Your voice still echoes in hidden ways. You were trouble, laughter, music, fire, A brother, a shadow, a heart’s desire, And though the world says time moves on, Mine still stops where you are gone. Pre-Chorus 2 If heaven has fields and a soft green rain, I hope you’re young and whole again, I hope you know, wherever you are, You’re still my first and closest star. Chorus We were Irish twins, nine months apart, Two beats running from the same old heart, You were my brother, my mirror, my friend, The story I thought would never end. Now I carry you where the green winds blow, In every song only we would know, You left too fast, but love stays true, My Irish twin, I still walk with you. Bridge And if I hear thunder, I’ll call it your drum, If I see green fields, I’ll know you’ve come, If I laugh at nothing, I’ll know it’s you, Still pulling pranks like you used to do. I’ll say your name when the night feels long, I’ll keep you living inside this song, Not goodbye, not gone, not far, Just waiting somewhere past the stars. Final Chorus We were Irish twins, nine months apart, Two souls stitched from the same old heart, You were my brother, my mirror, my friend, My first beginning, not my end. So I’ll carry you where the green winds blow, Through every road I have to go, You left too soon, but love stays true, My Irish twin, I still walk with you. Outro Nine months apart, still side by side, You walk with me where tears can’t hide, Brother, Sean, my heart knows true, There’s no part of me not shaped by you.
