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
 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, an 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 any 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 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
