Sister

Lyrics for Sister

Alison, got the world in your gloved hand And your hand in mine, your hand in mine Alison, you could captivate the room Even though you don't want to, no, you never do I've never been discreet about anything So all of your secrets are astonishing (why don't you tell me?) Steady as the tide, steady as any cliché that you could come by Steady as the light, steady as the Earth that gathers the light You talk all about how we watch the world go by Don't think about it, I'm so good at killing time Tell me all of your secrets, you know that I wouldn't mind Forget all our troubles, if only for a little while For a little while For a little while Alison, got the world in your gloved hand And your hand in mine, your hand in mine Alison, hide out for a year, we could watch The world go by, no, I wouldn't mind I've never been discreet about anything So all of your secrets are astonishing Come on and tell me (No, you can't, my love, hide forever) (No, you can't, my love) can't hide forever You have your dreams, and I have mine And for a little while, they'll be intact You have your dreams, and I have mine And for a little while, they'll be intact You talk all about how we watch the world go by Don't think about it, I'm so good at killing time Tell me all of your secrets, you know that I wouldn't mind Forget all our troubles, if only for a little while For a little while For a little while
