Sister Dear Lyrics

She was once a light shining bright

Embraced the world with open arms

But now she's lost in shadows deep

Drowning in her own alarms

Her laughter's now a hollow sound

Echoes in the empty room

She's dancing with her demons now

Lost in her own gloom

Sister dear what have you become?

Drifting away like smoke in the night

Brother cries but there's naught to be done

As you drown in the bottle's delight

She spins tales of silver threads

Weaving lies with every breath

And though he sees right through her guise

He's trapped in her tragic depth

The bottle's now her closest friend

A companion through the endless night

And though he yearns to save her soul

He's powerless in her plight

Sister dear what have you become?

Drifting away like smoke in the night

Brother cries but there's naught to be done

As you drown in the bottle's delight

Oh the pain it cuts so deep

Watching you slip away from me

I'd give it all to turn back time

And set your troubled spirit free
