Sister Shadow lyrics

Words and music by roddy frame

Here she comes now sister in shadow
Lights up my day `til there`s no tomorrow
Almond eyes set in olive skin,
Betray the anger burnin` white within
There she goes dumbin` down for them all
And speakin` in code when sufferin` is calling
When the city`s steppin` out to play
She cuts a dash in tenement grey
Her memory lingers then fades and turns to black
Slippin` through my fingers, shiftin` shape and doublin` back

What you gonna do when the bells are ringin`
Happiness and joy and the birds are singin`
For you sister shadow and it`s all so dutiful
Where you gonna go when the city is swingin`
Really reelin` and you`re feelin` like it`s so unreal
Sweet, sweet nothings loud and clear, sister shadow

Here she comes now sister of shiva
Dark destroyer, holy deceiver
I feel her rising as you`re drawing near
Look in your eyes i see her shadow appear
Love is blind, it`s a one way twistin` track
She`s always behind me but there`s no turnin` back

What you gonna do when the bells are ringin`
Happiness and joy and the birds are singin`
For you sister shadow and it`s all so dutiful
Where you gonna go when the city is swingin`
Really reelin` and you`re feelin` like it`s so unreal
Sweet, sweet nothings loud and clear, sister shadow
