Aztec Camera - Sister Ann lyrics

Words and music by roddy frame When days are just a trail of clothes Slung over poetry and prose A red reminder of the things i owe A songbird silenced in the setting snow I'm left here looking at the bones I'm stranded in a sea of stepping stones I stood inside of something i'd outgrown A simple sadness in the great unknown I think again and thank the earth And kiss the stone I saw the anger in your eyes Neutralised Made hollow Faith and healing met the wide eyed child Redemption smiled I followed It's like the numbness when your heart gets sick Then the summer and your heart gets fixed And i say Chorus: Sister ann says "there's no need to be down, There's something you can do" It all follows Sister ann says "there's no need to find solace in anything, If you don't want to" It's like the light is gonna find you then Then the beauty in your eyes And the stillness of the night And the beating of your breast Is gonna put you there again The single silence of a kiss Two voices merged and gone amiss Belief that bends and so beyond that bliss Finds deeper darkness on relies on this Then wide awake it wonders why and says resist I saw the anger in your eyes Neutralised Made hollow Faith and healing met the wide eyed child Redemption smiled I followed It's like the numbness when your heart gets sick Then the summer and your heart gets fixed And i say Chorus
