Days rolling by
Isn't it funny how seasons just fly?
Hasn't it struck you that
the more that you try to catch her
the higher she sails
I could have flown
I could have caught her
I could have sailed
in her wonderful sky but I lost her
So, Sister, Sister
help me conquer this pain in my heart
pain in my soul
I find myself lost
in the very same game that I taught her
Still, there is time left to learn
this lesson that I'm living
with this tide that's been giving
me trouble in refusing to turn
Spring rolling on
finding it hard to see whether I'm gone
Searching the snowy hills
knowing that her song if for me
what the wind is for sailing
Sweet smelling May
open your windows
open them wide
as a forever field where the wind blows
And Sister, Sister
help me conquer this winter I'm in
Freezing it snows
It's May, but I don't think it knows
I may need years yet to learn
this lesson that I'm living
with this fire that's been giving
me trouble in refusing to burn
But little by little by little
I shall grow
Little by little by little
I shall know
Little by little by little
tides shall turn
Little by little by little
my fire will burn
Summer is gone
Leaving no doubt that I still am alone
Leaving a path that I
know that I'll have to take
if it's me that I'm after
Still, I should have grown
I should have seen her
These shackles I'm calling my hopes
they could not have been keener
So, Sister, Sister
help me capture a realness I'll know
Show me her laughter
Show me her eyes
and her truth I shall follow thereafter
Then I will know that I've learned
this lesson that I'm living
where dreams have been giving
me nothing but what I have earned
And little by little by little
I shall grow
Little by little by little
I shall know
Little by little by little
tides shall turn
Little by little by little
my fire will burn
Yes, little by little by little
I shall grow
Little by little by little
I shall know
Little by little by little
tides shall turn
Little by little by little
my fire will burn
