Cry Little Sister
W.O.D Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Get up outta your rockin' chair grandma! or rather,
Would you care to dance grandmother?
(Do do do)

Hey you give up the ghost that's haunting you now
Shout it out don't let it stay inside and eat you alive
Make up your mind don't you understand this side of the line
I can assure you when you're my age you'll learn from all you've left behind

You've got to dance little sister don't give up today
Hang on till tomorrow I don't wanna hear you're late
Dance little sister don't give up today
Hang on till tomorrow don't give up your stay

Say say say now share the weight and lay your cross down
And let the long reaching arm of hope bring you around
It ain't easy but giving up is the easy thing to do
Time is on your side would you just watch the clock and let it tick for you

You've got to dance little sister don't give up today
Hang on till tomorrow I don't wanna hear you're late
Dance little sister don't give up today
Hang on till tomorrow don't give up your stay

You've got to dance little sister don't give up today




Hang on till tomorrow I don't wanna hear you're late
Dance little sister don't give up today

🔥last fire will rise behind those eyes
Black house will rock, blind boys don't lie
Immortal fear, that voice so clear
Through broken walls, that scream I hear
Cry, little sister thou shall not fall
Come, come to your brother thou shall not die
Unchain me, sister thou shall not fear
Love is with your brother thou shall not kill
Blue masquerade, strangers look on
When will they learn this loneliness?
Temptation heat beats like a drum
Deep in your veins, I will not lie
Little sister thou shall not fall
Come, come to your brother Thou shall not die
Unchain me, sister Thou shall not fear
Love is with your brother Thou shall not kill
My ShangriLas
I can't forget
Why you were mine
I need you now
Cry, little sister Thou shall not fall
Come, come to your brother Thou shall not die
Unchain me, sister thou shall not fear
Love is with your brother thou shall not kill🔥

@carolinetarrant2486

No but half yes. Suddenly found myself stirring supper, over-singing crrrryyyyy little sister..

Haven't seen the film in a gazillion years nor even relate to the song

Sometimes songs come to find you, you don't choose them

Now I'm listening to it on purpose I feel a tiny dot of pride, soul and a bit dollop of embarrassment incase my boyfriend comes home early
