Thompson, Richard - Sisters Lyrics






Remember the time when we two kin were reared
There was never a morsel but that it was shared
If the one babe was stung, t'was the other would cry
There scarce was a crossed word and never a lie

Our people were drab and defeated like slaves
The light of their fathers went into the graves
I took to the highway to find some relief
I never meant parting to put you to grief

Sisters
We were sisters
'Til love came between us and pulled us apart
We were sisters
We were sisters
Don't call me your sister and put a knife through my heart

Now you smile when you greet me, you put on a show
But it's slander you're talking as soon as you go
If your eye and my eye don't meet anymore
Hold fast to your tongue when I've walked out the door

Sisters
We were sisters
'Til love came between us and pulled us apart
We were sisters
We were sisters
Don't call me your sister and put a knife through my heart

You say that I'm different, don't hold me to blame
It's not to my grandeur, it's not to your shame
It's nothing of mine that I lay at your door
So take it or leave it, it's to heal not to sore

Sisters
We were sisters
'Til love came between us and pulled us apart
We were sisters
We were sisters
Don't call me your sister and put a knife through my heart

Thompson, Richard Sisters Comments
  1. R.... G....

    It bothers me that I never heard from her then
    and I do not hear from her now
    I said something wrong
    Nothing new

  2. R.... G....

    Nothing without you I do have dreams regarding You
    I Love You
    Thank you for always being there
    My hearts

  3. R.... G....

    It's not to my grandeur it's not to your shame
    It's nothing of mine that I lay at Your door
    So take it or leave it ... it's to heal
    not to sore

  4. D.... M....

    I became estranged from my sister this year. It was a longtime coming. And we are twins but she is an evil one.

  5. R.... G....

    I can't do this without You ...

  6. R.... G....

    It is good to be with you the song is depressing ...
    but please don't you be depressed ..
    The song is sort of uplifting now

  7. R.... G....

    Damn this someserious suicide music
    it really bothers me
    Seriously doubt Richard and Linda had any such depressing intent ..
    really intense love You very much

  8. R.... G....

    I took to the highway to find some relief

  9. R.... G....

    Not into mind reading cliched

  10. R.... G....

    Totally wipes the smile off my face .....
    So thinking of my mortality

  11. R.... G....

    The only song that makes me think of suicide....
    it is really cool........and yet

  12. T.... .....

    Like the Message of that album.But the music is the most tiny thing of what they ever made ;)

  13. R.... G....

    I took to the highway to find some relief..........oh dear lord
    almost got killed by someone going down the wrong way.........

    R.... G....

    forgot to mention..that that was a true story

  14. R.... G....

    depressing... at times I feel just bad.......forgive me . This is a cool song

  15. R.... G....

    The album cover looks like everything is Utopia
    Life is ..difficult...could say trepidatious
    Petra turned me on to them ....

  16. R.... G....

    This is some serious drinking music

  17. D.... ....

    Is it future, or is it past?

  18. B.... M....

    great voice and soul.

  19. h.... ....

    One of my favorite songs from one of my favorite albums, sung by one of the best singers.  Thanks.

  20. t.... p....

    Memories still sounds great

  21. M.... ....

    wonderful
    great album

  22. M.... ....

    Every line in this song is exactly what I feel with my sister. So sad, yet true..

  23. M.... ....

    Me and my sister use to be the best of friends, but once she got engaged she changed, and her personal attacks, hurtful comments, indignant attitude devastates my heart..Just the other day I got a random chain of messages falsely accusing me of saying cruel things about her (which I never did) and she told me I did n`t own up to my own sin( I never sinned against her in the first place), and that I am seen as the younger sister (which I am not) because I am not married, hardworker like her.

  24. B.... E....

    Lovely. Linda is in excellent voice. My own sisters have a horrid relationship.
