Road Salt - Sisters lyrics

rate me

When all are dizzy and happy from too much wine

I leave the party behind

To be alone with my thoughts and this spinning mind

Through this cold night

But there she stands

And she walks like you

And she smiles almost like you

A child of the wild just like you

Yes.

For a second I think I get a glimpse

Of the real her, behind

She's warm and fragile

With smiles that reach to her eyes

But just this moment,

A change so sublime

If she looked me deep into my eyes

And softly asked me too

I'd be in her bed and in her flesh

And waste a life I knew

So I hold my breath and close my eyes

And focus on the wine

Let this trembling moment pass us by

So I could say goodnight

But then, an impulse

I almost touched her face

Before I pulled back my hand

And we get nervous

We laugh and she spills her wine

Both so awkward, for what's on our mind

And she talks like you

And she smells almost like you

A child of the wild just like you

But she's not all you

Even strives not to be you

Just like every sister would do

And perhaps it's the want

Of you in her eyes

But I want her this one single time

...Just this one time

If she looked me deep into my eyes

And softly asked me too

I'd be in her bed and in her flesh

And waste a life I knew

So I hold my breath and close my eyes

And focus on the wine

Let this trembling moment pass us by

So I could say goodnight

If I'd looked into her eyes

And softly asked her too

She would give herself and give her flesh

And waste a life she knew

So we hold our breath, and close our eyes

And take a sip of wine

But this thirst has emptied every glass

And we should say goodnight

...God, help me say goodnight.<br />
