Sister
Severin Browne Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I thought the day had come and blotted out the night.
The stars and moon were dancing
and the light just blinded me
As you flew down to touch my hand
But softly, there's a sadness in your eyes
As if searching for a friend who's somehow been disguised.
But you're wondering if you'll ever find your lost and lonely friend.
Like a summer rain you seem to sing to me,
Such a bashful lady shining through.
But sad seems such a useless thing to be,
So here's a little loving from me to you.
Sister, now you're the only one
Who came to me with thoughts of love for everyone.
Well, I've been doing some thinking
and if ever there was a way
That you didn't have to go so soon
I'd like for you to stay.
Yes, I've been doing some thinking
and if ever there was a way
That you didn't have to go so soon
I'd like for you to stay.
