A Sister -

Each way we can speak of pain

We make it less, at least more contained

Watched it all with calm despair

Came as close as I could bear

Kept you near so we could hold

And hope that more would then follow

You and I

Carved our name into a larch

To keep the time

Just as a good guest

Who knows when to depart

The table of life

Keep it together

Sisters with a broken heart

Just keep it together

We fall with a broken branch

'cause we are together

Every step and fatal path

Just keep it together

Hoping only to advance

I want you to know

That I read everything you wrote

I spent every morning

And every afternoon

Memorising this for you

You and I

Hide the past in gentle ground

And say goodbye

When you make a choice to leave

A coil is tightly wound

Let it break apart

I know the price of love is cruel

And the weight is a strain

From an open wound

I want you to know

That I read everything you wrote

I spent every morning

And every afternoon

Memorising this for you
