Sister


We went to see Dave Matthews last week... and ever since his encore "Sister" I have not been able to get the song out of my head. Before he started the encore he explained that his sister was his kindred spirit... and that when she was born her heart was place in his body... and vise versa. So he always felt like he was with her in spirit. Sadly, she was killed in 1994, by her husband who then shot himself
This got me to thinking, naturally, about my relationships with others. I was not blessed with a sister... but I've had the luxery of hand picking several sisters... my own kindred spirits. Erin, Kerry, and Kim have been my friends for a very long time... my hand-picked sisters in life... then I was blessed again to get Crystal when I moved to Texas. So, here are the lyrics to DMB's "Sister" for my sisters.... I <3 you guys....

Sister.... a song about Jane

Passing time with you in mind
Its another quiet night
Feel the ground against my back
Count the stars against the black
Think about another day
Wishing I was far away
Wherever I dreamed I was
You were there with me

(Chorus)Sister, I hear you laugh
My heart fills full up
Keep me please
Sister, when you cry
I feel your tears
Running down my face
Sister, sister, keep me

I hope you always know its true
I would never make it through
You could make the sun go dark
Just by walking away
Playing like we used to play
Like it would never go away
I feel you beating in my chest
I'd be dead without you

(Chorus)Sister, I hear you laugh
My heart fills full up
Keep me please
Sister, when you cryI feel your tears
Running down my face
Sister, sister, you keep me
I hope you always know its true
I would never make it through
You could make the heavens fall
Just by walking away

(Chorus)Sister, I hear you laugh
My heart fills full up
Keep me please
Sister, when you cryI feel your tears
Running down my faceSister, sister, you keep me
