Dear Sister

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Dear Sister, I sing this letter to you Hear it, listen to me say That this stone around my neck won't stop turning, no And each turn takes me another mile away [Chorus] And it won't tell me where I'm going And it won't tell me where I've been And it won't tell me if I'll ever Get back to you again [Verse 2] Won't you settle for this necklace strung from highways Wear it, listen to me say That this fire behind my eyes won't stop burning, no And until the flame is out I can never stay [Chorus] And it won't tell me where I'm going And it won't tell me where I've been And it won't tell me if I'll ever Get back to you again [Verse 3] And it's always just the same I go through the door again and keep moving When the light starts growing dim I've gotta reach up for the rim of a beginning [Verse 4] But someday, somewhere When these bitter days are over Then the stories of my streets Can cease their telling
