Sweet Sister Temperance Lyrics - Sister Kinderhook - Rasputina

Sweet Sister Temperance 

She of the model-hearted innocence 

So eloquent and immune to despair 

Her tears smooth bands of reddish hair 

Why subtle for a 

She fainted while baking in the kitchen 

Overturning all her merry schemes 

For great and small and all things in between 

For future and happiness 

In a blue field violence 

For her glory and her power 

She found in her final hour 

Great and small and all in between 

Sweet Sister Temperance 

She of the model-hearted innocence 

So eloquent and immune to despair 

Her tears smooth bands of reddish hair 

One can see the consequence 

Of her endless virtue is penitence 

In a scarlet letter all her tailored deed 

Her tears smooth bands of reddish hair 

All defeated I should cry the memory 

All defeated I should cry the memory 

We had just laid out the garden 

Handsome more so now than ever 

And exquisite cleanness showing 

In diamond square 

She kept us enraptured 

Gently captured by her tender emotion 

Wildflowers growing, we strode a moonlit path 

In silent pairs 

Sweet Sister Temperance 

She of the model-hearted innocence 

So eloquent and immune to despair 

Her tears smooth bands of reddish hair 

One can see the consequence 

Of her endless virtue is penitence 

In a scarlet letter all her tailored deed 

Her tears smooth bands of reddish hair 

In a scarlet letter all her tailored deed 

Her tears smooth bands of reddish hair 

Oh this soon 

Oh this soon 

Oh this soon 

Oh this soon 

Oh this soon 

Oh this soon
