Music by elton john<br>Lyrics by bernie taupin<br>Released as a uk b-side in january, 1969<br><br>The sister of sunlight<br>Comes to my lonely life<br>Bearing the crosses I hung<br>I hung on my lonely wife<br>And the anchor told me<br>If I prayed by the river<br>That the sweet sound of water<br>Would always go with her<br><br>All across the havens to the waterfall<br>They told me I would meet her there<br>Inside those icy walls<br>But how on earth in this universe<br>Can they forgive me of my pains<br>For all across the havens<br>I must stumble locked in chains<br><br>Then the mother of mercy<br>Showed me her stable<br>And told me you would be safe<br>Safe in her cradle<br>And the waterfall opened<br>And the water withdrew<br>Leaving me standing<br>On a road leading through
