Sister Kate, I saw you watching the baby,
whispering softly in her ear
she can't hear me and the words that I speak
are like blackness in the dark
Sister Kate, I bet you still wonder why
I'm hanging on
like this is all that I've got
God knows I ain't so strong
I see a thousand babyfaces
tonight is the night
I'm hanging on, Sister Kate
Sister Kate
Sister Kate, I saw you touching the baby
Its skin felt soft, it was like milk so white
don't play that trick on me
'cause I can see her, I can feel her breathe
Sister Kate, I bet you still wonder why
I'm hanging on
like this is all that I've got
God knows I ain't so strong
I see a thousand babyfaces
tonight is the night
I'm hanging on, Sister Kate
Sister Kate
and if I stumble, who's going to pick me up?
who's going to catch my fall
the doctors mumble, I can't hear a word they're saying
I guess they're hiding the truth
so I'm going home, I'm going home
Sister Kate, I saw you watching the movie
I saw them tears rolling down your cheeks
don't play that trick on me
'cause I can see her, I can feel her breathe
Sister Kate,I know you still wonder why
I'm hanging on
like this is all that I've got
God knows I ain't so strong
I see a thousand babyfaces
tonight is the night
I'm hanging on, Sister Kate
Sister Kate
Sister Kate, Sister Kate
my sweet Sister Kate
