Sister Beams Lyrics - Singles - Slobberbone

Sister beams with girlish pride 

And a smile worn ear to ear 

A lifetime's dream, a wedding scene 

Her precious day draws near 

An empty home and a life alone 

That's all she's ever feared 

Yesterday her fiance 

He made his plans real clear 

He said, "Golden haired, your sister's fair 

And she's been so good to me 

But a lifetime bound and tied down 

That's one I just can't see" 

Then he said he must have lost his head 

When it struck him to agree 

He said, "You're a man and you should understand 

A man has certain needs" 

Now every day is just the same 

And the hours move by so slow 

Every day is like the day before like every day but I know 

It won't be like the one I leave behind me when I go 

Sister, she don't talk too loud 

Now that things are through 

She's waiting on some old advice 

But it'll never come true 

And she asks me if I'll stay with her 

But I've got some things to do 

You see, now he's dead, he must have lost his head 

When I struck him with what to do 

Now every day is just the same 

And the hours move by so slow 

Every day is like the day before like every day but I know 

It won't be like the one I leave behind me when I go
