Sister SongWords and Music by Phyllis BrockCopyright 2008 I know I shouldn’t love her, But I do. She lights candles for the dyin’,Reads poetry to fools. Sometimes she walks the streets at night, Like all lost lovers do. Doesn’t always have a place to go, She knows a thing or two. I know I shouldn’t love her, Not according to the rules. But she’s my sister. And I do. I know I shouldn’t love him, but I do. He’s contemplated murder, Maybe a time or two. But it only brought him to his knees, Nowhere else to go. Sometimes he carries burdens He thinks no one else should know. I know I shouldn’t love him, Not according to the rules. But he’s my brother. And I do. I know I shouldn’t love her, But I still do. She keeps her secrets buried, At the bottom of some very quiet pool. Some people say, “She’s crazy!” Sometimes it’s even true. But she still walks with her head held high. That’s all she knows how to do. And I know I shouldn’t love her, Not according to your rules. But she’s my sister. And I do. |
