The Divine Comedy - Three Sisters lyrics

This autumn breeze shall strip the trees And freeze me to the bone Why must these three sisters tease Their lonely brother so? Knowledge is a curse But ignorance is worse i fear Would you agree my dear? I have watched you grow From the same seed as my own shall grow And they will never know how How this autumn breeze shall strip the trees And freeze me to the bone Why must these three sisters tease Their lonely brother so? I don't know I don't know Pleasure is a sin And abstinence shall win this day And that's the way it's gonna stay Black parisian lace Your salvation-my disgrace My god Where did you go wrong? I don't know if i can stop my eyes From drifting slowly over holy temples of the soul No self control That autumn chill is with me still
