Go to sleep, sister, go to sleep Within the deep, dry, well of my whisper, go to sleep You have been coming for a while to my different rooms You're one big Hollywood anthem to my groan Is it you, is it me, is this how you'll appear You know I never understood your cry And I guess I never tried
Go to sleep Sister Go to sleep
Another day will soon be rising from the ground With another distant whisper carried at the speed of sound Go to sleep Points me back to the far provinces of our past Ah, there were crying sleepless centuries But never like this And as it appears I never understood your cry And I guess I never tried
Sister, are you still awake? Yes I'm still awake I've been walking in the sidewalk sun Sidewalk, sidewalk sun
Go to sleep Sister Go to sleep
I've been out walking in the sidewalk sun
