Sufjan Stevens - Sister Lyrics
What the water wants is hurricanes
And sailboats to ride on its back
What the water wants is sun kiss
And land to run into and back
Reminding me to know that I'm glad
That I have a bottle filled with my old teeth
They fell out like a tear in the bag
And I have a sister somewhere in Detroit
She has black hair and small hands
And I have a kettledrum
I'll hit the earth with you
And I will crochet you a hat
I'll put you right in it
I'll show you the sky

Sufjan Stevens music is always Hauntingly beautiful 🖤
I'll show you the sky
I have a sister, somewhere in Detroit, she has black hair and small hands
gosh his voice is so soft. When I'm laying in bed in the dark and listen intensly to Sufjan, I always feel safe. I adore this man so much.
This will always be one of my all-time Sufjan favourites...
This is one of the most heart-achingly beautiful songs I have ever had the fortune of hearing. It is at once nostalgic and crushingly lucid.
What the water wants is hurricanes
And sailboats to ride on its back
What the water wants is sun kiss
And land to run into and back
I have a fish stone burning my elbow
Reminding me to know that I'm glad
That I have a bottle filled with my old teeth
They fell out like a tear in the bag
And I have a sister somewhere in Detroit
She has black hair and small hands
And I have a kettledrum
I'll hit the earth with you
And I will crochet you a hat
And I have a red kite
I'll put you right in it
I'll show you the sky
somehow manages to be incredibly light and heavy at the same time.
Beautiful song. Great feel to it
