Sister

de Sufjan Stevens

We were, we were, we were lovers
We had nothing but above us

We were touching, we were turning
We were eighteen, get to learning

Saw your mother at the river
Washing ribbons, saw her sip, saw her sip there

I've seen laymen up and walking
I've seen deaf and dead men talking

And I have had enough of trouble
I've been paid in full and double

Break a glass against the table
Break a promise if you're, if you're able

I went dancing with my sister
Call her madam, call me mister

She wore dresses, nice and something
Underneath her dress was nothing

She did curse it, she did keep it
She said she did something stupid

I said who's the master idol
I can kill or catch a fly dead

Point me in the right direction
Point me to the middle section

And I have had enough of trouble
I've been paid in full and double

Break a glass against the table
Break a promise if you're, if you're able

Break a glass against the table
Break a promise if you're, if you're, if you're able
