Sister Lyrics - Over The Rhine

You say he feels it 

His face reveals it 

My sweet trepidation 

An eagerness of my own 

A shiver slips through my bones 

Can you see cobblestone roads 

Running through his stare 

He's so clandestine 

He's such a vision 

So tell me sister 

He sits here in this small dive 

There's something behind those eyes 

Did you perceive the wilderness 

Resting there so did I 

Laughing he stalls me 

Crazy he calls me 

He thinks me artless 

For not stocking berry wines 

From certain australian vines 

Have mercy sister 

He's travelled 'round the world 

He's like a shadow 

There by the window 

But no man's an island 

No man's an artesian well 

He loves the cathedral bell 

It sings about him 

When he goes home at night 

So do I
