Sisters Songtext

von Pain of Salvation

When all are dizzy and happy from too much wine
I leave the party behind
To walk alone with my thoughts and this spinning mind
Through this cold night
But there she stands

And she walks like you
And she smiles almost like you
A child of the wild just like you
(Yes)

For a second, I think I get a glimpse
Of the real her behind
She's warm and fragile with smiles that reach to her eyes
For just this moment
A change so sublime

And if she'd looked me deep into my eyes and softly asked me to
I'd be in her bed and in her flesh and waste the life I knew
So I hold my breath and close my eyes and focus on the wine
Let this trembling moment pass us by, so I could say goodnight

But then, on impulse, I almost touch her face
Before I pull back my hand.
And we get nervous, we laugh and she spills her wine
Both so awkward
For what's on our mind

And she talks like you
And she smells almost like you
A child of the wild just like you

But she's not all you
Even strives not to be you
Just like every sister would do

And perhaps it's the wine
Or that you're in her eyes
But I want her this one single time
(just this one time)

And if she'd look me deep into my eyes and softly asked me to
I'd be in her bed and in her flesh and waste a life I knew
So I hold my breath and close my eyes and focus on the wine
Let this trembling moment pass us by, and then we'll say goodnight

And if I'd look into her eyes and softly asked her to
She would give herself and give her flesh, and waste the life she knew
So we hold our breaths and close our eyes and take a sip of wine
But this thirst has emptied every glass, and we should say goodnight
God, help me say goodnight
