Sisters

When all are dizzy and happy

From too much wine

I leave the party behind

To walk 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

For just this moment

A change so sublime

If she'd looked me deep into my eyes

And softly asked me to

I'd be in her bed and in her flesh

And waste the 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 touch her face

Before I pull 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 any sister would do

And perhaps it's the wine

Or that you're in her eyes

But I want her this one single time

(Just this one time)

If she'd look me deep into my eyes

And softly asked me to

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

And then we'll say goodnight

And if I'd look into her eyes

And softly asked her to

She would give herself and give her flesh

And waste the life she knew

So we hold our breaths 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
