Sisters

When all are dizzy and happy from too much wine

I leave the party behind

To walk alone with my thoughts and this spinning mind

Through this cold night

But there she stands

And she walks like you

And she smiles almost like you

A child of the wild just like you

(Yes)

For a second, I think I get a glimpse

Of the real her behind

She's warm and fragile with smiles that reach to her eyes

For just this moment

A change so sublime

And if she'd looked me deep into my eyes and softly asked me to

I'd be in her bed and in her flesh and waste the life I knew

So I hold my breath and close my eyes and focus on the wine

Let this trembling moment pass us by, so I could say goodnight

But then, on impulse, I almost touch her face

Before I pull back my hand.

And we get nervous, we laugh and she spills her wine

Both so awkward

For what's on our mind

And she talks like you

And she smells almost like you

A child of the wild just like you

But she's not all you

Even strives not to be you

Just like every sister would do

And perhaps it's the wine

Or that you're in her eyes

But I want her this one single time

(just this one time)

And if she'd look me deep into my eyes and softly asked me to

I'd be in her bed and in her flesh and waste a life I knew

So I hold my breath and close my eyes and focus on the wine

Let this trembling moment pass us by, and then we'll say goodnight

And if I'd look into her eyes and softly asked her to

She would give herself and give her flesh, and waste the life she knew

So we hold our breaths and close our eyes and take a sip of wine

But this thirst has emptied every glass, and we should say goodnight

God, help me say goodnight
