Pop No Harm: Sister Blue


Sister Blue (2005)

I stayed awake, I had flu
heard morning birds longing you
the cage had open door
torn paper on the floor
gone from the view
her name was sister blue,
shared five years
silent treadmill hurt my ears
the end of a silver line
lying under twig of a pine.

Dreaming of a strong wing
carrying me where you are
because I miss you so,
shouldn't have let you go,
is it a sin to even think to follow?
I'd be kissing you really soon
on the bridge halfway to the moon.

Looking at my hands in the bed
on the pillow there was something red
in distant bathroom light
words I tried to write
but couldn't hold the pen
finish the sentence then,
In the paleness of the room
I was lost in the gloom
I'll remember that day
I was deep in my decay.

[chorus]

Somewhere in my heart there was gold
didn't realize what I hold
creature on my arm
more than simple charm
taking care of me
didn't ask for fee,
I gave you medicine
and worked hard for a win
still the dearest I lost
in your short life that is the cost.

[chorus]
