Sisters - Rebeka

The weather left years ago

We’re coming back to the glaciers

All that we can see

Are the tips of our feet

Please don’t kiss me

You may freeze to my lips

Please don’t come near

Have we ever had love here

When I fear to death I don’t cry

The glaciers are cold

They haven’t melt

That’s all

I see my palms

They have no lines

The snow is beating those gentle hands

And I’m on a ship

And I’m her only sign

My Sister is crying

I cannot save her now

The past is fading

We have to talk

I dream of my mother

She seems to have grown old

All that she has she cannot see

This one crying child

A wounded heart to heal

I’m on this ship And

I’m her only sign

My Sister is crying

And I must save her now

And it seems so good

To swim with the tide

And it seems so fine

To be out of time
