"Sister" lyrics

Mark Lanegan Band Lyrics

"Sister"

Those spirits in the wood
I can't count them all
Run me down the briar
Chase me 'til I fall
The dead white witch's gaze
Mirror's mine at night
Dares my soul to sleep
Wants my soul to keep

Sister
Sister of mine
Set the sky on fire
The savage kingdom is blind

Those spirits in the wood
I can't name them all
Place me in a hood
Walk me to the wall
All these lonely things
I have held so near
You glean just the same
Yet they're never here

Sister
Sister of mine
Set the sky on fire
The savage kingdom is blind

The morphine drugged the man who marooned
The captain steered the ship to ruin
The crow released the crimson balloon
The morphine drugged the man who marooned
