Little Angel, Little Brother

Your R&B records your music books Your sense of humor and your rugged good looks I see you now at the piano Your back a slow curve Playing Ray Charles and Fats Domino While I sang all the words Little angel, little brother Your bad habits and your attitude Your restless ways and your solitude I see you leaning your lanky frame Just inside the door A figure behind the kitchen screen Staring down at the floor Little angel, little brother Little angel, little brother Your pa*sion for Shakespeare and your paperbacks Your chess pieces and your wisecracks I see you sleeping in the car Curled up on the back seat Parked outside of a bar An empty bottle at your feet Little angel, little brother Your R&B records your music books Your sense of humor and your rugged good looks I see you now at the piano Your back a slow curve Playing Ray Charles and Fats Domino While I sang all the words Little angel little brother Little angel little brother of mine
