Sister

Dave Matthews Band · Other Songs - Dave Matthews Band

Pass the time with you in mind

It's a rather quiet night

Feel the ground against my back

Counting stars against the black

Thinking bout another day

Wishing I was far away

Whether they were dreams or worries

You were there with me



Sister, I hear you laugh

My heart fills full up

Keep me please

Sister, when you cry

I feel your tears running down my face

Sister, Sister keep me



I hope you always know it's true

I would never make it through

We could make the sun go down

Just by walking away

Playing like we used to play

Our kingdom will never go away

Feel you beating in my chest

I'll be dead without



Sister, I hear you laugh

My heart fills full up

Keep me please

Sister, when you cry

I feel your tears running down my face

Sister, Sister will you keep me?



I would never make it through

Hope you always know it's true

You could make the heaven's fall

Just by walking away



Sister, I hear you laugh

My heart fills full up

Keep me please

Sister, when you cry

I feel your tears running down my face

Sister, Sister keep me
