Sister Ann Lyrics - Aztec Camera

When days are just a trail of clothes 

Slung over poetry and prose 

A red reminder of the things I owe 

A songbird silenced in the setting snow 

I'm left here looking at the bones 

I'm stranded in a sea of stepping stones 

I stood inside of something I'd outgrown 

A simple sadness in the great unknown 

I think again and thank the earth and kiss the stone 

I saw the anger in your eyes, neutralized, made hollow 

Faith and healing met the wide eyed child 

Redemption smiled, I followed 

It's like the numbness when your heart gets sick 

Then the summer and your heart gets fixed and I say 

Sister Ann says "there's no need to be down 

There's something you can do", it all follows 

Sister Ann says "there's no need to find 

Solace in anything, if you don't want to" 

It's like the light is gonna find you then 

Then the beauty in your eyes 

And the stillness of the night 

And the beating of your breast 

Is gonna put you there again 

The single silence of a kiss 

Two voices merged and gone amiss 

Belief that bends and so beyond that bliss 

Finds deeper darkness on relies on this 

Then wide awake it wonders why and says resist 

I saw the anger in your eyes, neutralized, made hollow 

Faith and healing met the wide eyed child 

Redemption smiled, I followed 

It's like the numbness when your heart gets sick 

Then the summer and your heart gets fixed and I say 

Sister Ann says "there's no need to be down 

There's something you can do", it all follows 

Sister Ann says "there's no need to find 

Solace in anything, if you don't want to" 

It's like the light is gonna find you then 

Then the beauty in your eyes 

And the stillness of the night 

And the beating of your breast 

Is gonna put you there again
