Sister Tastes the Cold
As your soft brown hair falls away
With a smile and a tear you say
It all just slipped away
And all that you can do
After all that you’ve been through
Is watch it all slip away
Buck-tooth, busted bones, heart of gold, as a
child, you made me laugh
Bad turn, taught to hate, met THE WALL, exiled,
you learned to hide
And you
Where are you?
You entered the world, stumbled, fell and you
cried
As your clouded head starts to burn
With a chin and a grin with a quiver
It all just slipped away
And all that you can see
As THE WALL would disagree
Is watch it all slip away
Just come home
I’ll be in the apple tree
Just come home
