Sister
Hush now little one don't you cry
They know you're not ready for this lullaby
And mummy's gonna' hold ya' and be there every night
And if you feel hurt sweetie' walk into the light
Cos' love is a strange thing and so is life
We know you're not ready for this lullaby
Mummy's on her own and she finds it hard to cope
Daddy's got a new life but daddy's still broke
I'm still growing and learning bout' us
We had a family of broken trust
But sister you were too young to go home alone
The people in white took you
But sister you were too young to go home alone
The people in white took you
Oh why so early?
Then you went and stole a part
Of a life that was learning
And broke a mothers heart
I never knew
I never knew
What you were like
I wonder if you see me or hear my words
The points where I wanted to be with you at first
But mummy stopped me early and I heard his voice
I'll tell him again and again that he had a choice
Is it god, is it fate, is it faith that took me away from you
Cos' sister you were too young to go home alone
The people in white took you
Oh why so early?
Then you went and stole a part
Of a life that was learning
And broke a mothers heart
I never knew
I never knew
What you were like
