Sister Ann

[Verse 1]

When days are just a trail of clothes

Slung over poetry and prose

A red reminder of the things I owe

A songbird silenced in the settling snow

[Verse 2]

I'm left here looking at the bone

I'm stranded in a sea of stepping stones

I stood inside of something I'd outgrown

A simple sadness in the great unknown

I think again and thank the earth and kiss the stone

[Pre-Chorus]

I saw the anger in your eyes

Neutralise

Made hollow

Faith and healing met the wide-eyed child

Redemption smiled

I followed

It's like the numbness when your heart gets sick

Then the summer and your heart gets fixed

And I say

[Chorus]

Sister Ann says

"There's no need to be down, there's something you can do"

It all follows

Sister Ann says

"There's no need to find solace in anything

If you don't want to"

It's like the light is gonna find you then

Then the beauty in your eyes

The stillness of the night

And the beating in your breast

Is gonna put you there again

[Verse 3]

The single silence of a kiss

Two voices merged and gone amiss

Belief that bends and so beyond that bliss

Finds deeper darkness and relies on this

Then wide awake it wonders why and says resist

[Pre-Chorus]

I saw the anger in your eyes

Neutralise

Made hollow

Faith and healing met the wide-eyed child

Redemption smiled

I followed

It's like the numbness when your heart gets sick

Then the summer and your heart gets fixed

And I say

[Chorus]

Sister Ann says

"There's no need to be down, there's something you can do"

It all follows

Sister Ann says

"There's no need to find solace in anything if you don't want to"

It's like the light is gonna find you then

Then the beauty in your eyes

The stillness of the night

The beating in your breast

And the logic of the right

Is gonna put you there again

[Outro]

(Searching for something special, looking for love)

It's gonna put you there again

(Searching for something special, looking for love)

It's gonna put you there again

(Searching for something special, looking for love)

It's gonna put you there again

(Searching for something special, looking for love)

It's gonna put you there again
