Sister -

Sister

I was chasing you down the street

May or June '84

I pushed you

My confidence grew

But the queen on the red horse, she suddenly screams

And still in my dreams

You fly through the air

With your curly blonde hair

Waving like a flag from your back

Someone’s surrendering

Concrete and rust

You knocked all those baby-whites out

Head full of noise, hands full of dust

The blood and the echo of the shouts

I couldn’t take the blame

Now I can’t stand the shame

Sister

Can’t let it go

And I told you

How it spread from the heart and through the veins

And it grows

Open your eyes and tell me what do you see

And who is the loneliest at the end of the day

How small things shape your life

Concrete and rust

You knocked all those baby-whites out

Head full of noise, hands full of dust

The blood and the echo of the shouts

I couldn’t take the blame

Now I can’t stand the shame

And you’re out of reach

Someone told me all is gone

(But nothing’s gone)

But we go on
