lyrics

Little Sister
Words & Music by Joanna Chapman-Smith

Verse One:

I have to wonder - Why we wander alone
I had a little sister - But she don’t want to be my sister anymore
I see her head for the door
And I know she feels - She has to go
I make her face her deamons - I growl at her with deamons
I am a little deamon - I know, I know . . .
I know, I know, I know - I could have done things different

Verse Two:
Two little judges sit on my bones
They look at her and she looks back through powdery blue
But her eyes were never blue before
I see her head for the door
With her man in one hand - and her complex in the other - I know, I know
I know, I know, I know I let her down

Transition:
And I know her eyes are really brown
And that they recede inside her
She is a little tiger
She has to run wild
And I know, I know she is not my child
And I know she feels she has to hide
I see her standing behind her boyfriend’s blue-eyed smile
And I know she’s not my sister anymore
So I head for the door.

Bridge:
Alone we faced each other
And she told me that she’d missed me - and I
know we need some time together
To feel that home we have -- together
Now I have my little sister
And I know now that I’ve missed her
So I hold her and I kissed her
I know . . .

End: That I don’t want her to have to wander alone
