Sister

Words by Bryon Bowers

You left first On the ring of a bell Soft music playing That new glue smell I’m Laying on a Towel… Just drank my milk Dreams of dragons and wizard’s Silk… Dreading sleep And wanting’ it too When I woke up… I lost you… [Chorus] Sister, where did you go?... Can’t find you in the house… You’re not in the Cedar Chest… Or in the Forest out back… Come on out… The game is over… I promise you can paint my nails Or give me ponytails… I got home Found out you were gone Thought I’d never see you again Heard you went to Ohio Then I heard you moved back again A mom and dad of your own Living in 2 homes [Chorus] Sister, where did you go?... Can’t find you in the house… You’re not in the Cedar Chest… Or in the Forest out back… Come on out… The game is over… I promise you can paint my nails Or give me ponytails… I still have the 2 tiny blue robots That you gave me When I came to your new home… They’re sitting’ in my treasure box Keeping company with Old shark teeth And Letters from the past [Chorus] Sister, where did you go?... Can’t find you in the house… You’re not in the Cedar Chest… Or in the Forest out back… Come on out… The game is over… I promise you can paint my nails Or give me ponytails…
