Church - Sisters lyrics

rate me

Anna sits beside her research<br />

Silence in the dappled moonlight<br />

Sleeping cat and dying fire<br />

Embers of the past conspire<br />

All her books are closed and scattered <br />

And she feels that nothing matters to her<br />

<br />

Outside this dream her sister frequents<br />

Like a cobweb catching fragments<br />

She approaches like a vision<br />

She says "Anna, do you hear me?"<br />

But the picture's always shuttered<br />

All the distant thoughts that flutter to her<br />

<br />

I can see them all, I can hear them call<br />

And as she falls I lean to say good-bye<br />

Breathing all the wasted hours<br />

Talking to the dying flowers<br />

Dwarfed by spires and tangled towers<br />

We don't ask the reason why<br />

<br />

Anna comes and goes in shadows<br />

Paintings of the open windows<br />

<br />

<br />

Her photograph is always faded<br />

Her sister's eyes are blank and shaded<br />

Don't you understand her science<br />

Merging in a strange alliance to her<br />

<br />

We're together in the future<br />

You and I and her together<br />

All our fated are intermingled<br />

We are plural, we are single<br />

We are leaving for a meeting<br />

And last seen the weather sleeting for her
