Little Sister (We’re Still Alive)

"And Just Like That, Everything Sounded Different"

Live from Petit Champlain, Quebec, Canada, March 7, 2015

Dressed with invisible pearls and lighted colors
She’s a broken flower in a huge wounded body
Traveling for years to find some place
She’s losing herself
So many times

Spinning round like the gypsy fallen queen
Schizophrenic shining secretly
For the man who gently says
How wonderful

Tell me little sister is it warm and safe in there
Your face is like winter and your eyes seem so dry
Any words to fill the blanks, speak out little sister
Are you waiting, are you waiting, are you waiting
For me somewhere deep inside

Standing on the corner she’s trying sometimes
To touch my world, to reach my side
To reach my side of the wire
Walking the whole universe to cross the line
She’s losing herself, so many times

Spinning round like the gypsy fallen queen
Schizophrenic shining secretly
For the man who gently says
How wonderful

Tell me little sister is it warm and safe in there
Your face is like winter and your eyes seem so dry
Any words to fill the blanks, speak out little sister
Are you waiting, are you waiting, are you waiting
For me somewhere deep inside

Beyond your silence, there is a voice
Beyond your silence, there is a voice
So give me the words, give me the words

We broke the bread and drank the wine

Speak out, speak out, speak out

And I said stop mourning, we’re still alive
Stop mourning we’re still alive
We’re alive, we’re alive

There’s no need to grieve, my love

For every time I’ve tried to hold you
Every time I’ve tried to hold you tight
To hold you tight

We’re alive, we’re alive, we’re alive
My love

And I said stop
