Willy Porter - Sister lyrics

If you want to leave Ain't no way I'm ever gonna stop you now Tears don't come cheap And there's not a single dry eye in the house Sister, please You were by my side All through the cold winds' blow Now I bring you wildflowers You only stand and scream for me to go Sister, please There's a slow, steady rain coming down Tugging like your monkey on my sleeve You draw your shades To keep the light from reaching through If your lifeline breaks You will drown so many more than you It's true, sister, please Now there's a slow, steady pain in my heart Tugging like your monkey on my sleeve Trying to love a junkie Is such a lonely place to be Sister, I have lied for you Like I have lied for the truth Sister It's all in the way you move Not the words you say Like a permanent mark you can't wash away It's all in the whispered words ringing in my ears Like breadcrumbs And pretty theft on the trail of tears It's all up to you now And there's a slow, steady rain coming down Tugging like your monkey on my sleeve
