Sail Away Sweet Sister

The Cardigans - Please Sister



When a sampled heartbeat and a stolen soul

I sold my songs to have my fortune told

And it said you should know that love will never die

But see how it kills you in the blink of an eye



I know of love as a hot white light

That knocks you down and then leaves you to dry

Oh, how can it be sweet momma tell me why

Why all love's disciples have to wither and die



Please sister help me come on do what you should

Please give me something I'm not doing so good

I'm gone down wrong is there nothing you can say

Please sister help me I'm not feeling ok



Give me belief that my time will come

And a toll free helpline if I find someone

But she said you gave away what you never really had

And now your purse is empty I can see why you're sad.



Oh Please sister help me come on do what you should

Please give me something I'm not doing so g
