Sister, sister Don't you cry I will sing you a lullaby Sister, sister When the sirens sing I will hold you close to me The world keeps turning Laying down its twisted jokes And the rivers keep filling with grief and hope I will find you a place to rest your head A quiet place to hold As the world keeps turning And we grow old Oooooooo I will hold you close to me Sister, sister Don't you cry I will sing you a lullaby The world keeps turning Laying down its twisted jokes And the rivers keep filling with grief and hope I will find you a place to rest your head A quiet place to hold As we keep turning And the world grows old Picture trees of oranges Under honey coated skies Can you feel my arm around you? I will hold you till we're both ready to fly
