A dark lullaby I wrote to my sister. This song is my way of reaching out to her, wanting to hold her and tell her that even though everything is messed up I’m here for her, and always will be. My two sisters and I have always been very close and since we lost our mother have grown even closer. This song is about how our love for one another allows us to present within terrible loss, to be strong enough to hold the terrible weight.
Sister, sister
Don’t you cry
I will sing you a lullaby
Sister, sister
When the sirens sing
I will hold you close to me
The world keeps turning
Laying down its twisted jokes
And the rivers keep filling with grief and hope
I will find you a place to rest your head
A quiet place to hold
As the world keeps turning
And we grow old
Oooooooo
I will hold you close to me
Sister, sister
Don’t you cry
I will sing you a lullaby
The world keeps turning
Laying down its twisted jokes
And the rivers keep filling with grief and hope
I will find you a place to rest your head
A quiet place to hold
As we keep turning
And the world grows old
Picture trees of oranges
Under honey coated skies
Can you feel my arm around you?
I will hold you till we’re both ready to fly
