SISTER REAL

A paperback novel reminds me of you
The girl on the cover - a literary dejavu
Down by the seashore in your bathing suit
You and your captain you looked so cute
You know you hurt me more than you know
You can desert me, but I'll never go
Sister Real, Sister Real

The men of the old world - the women of the new
Armed with apologies and defense all I knew
I was watching TV but I was looking at you
Bookstores were empty - libraries too
Took my education - I took it down to the bank
Expecting revelations - all I got was thanks
>From Sister Real

I'm always dreaming of New York skies
Of big jets waiting - of my turn to fly to Sister Real

I'll be your hero and you can be my wife
Keeping a promise leading a mystical life
Up on the mountain, a vision comes to me
I see a golden goddess on a beach in Waikiki

You know you hurt me, more than you know
More than you feel it, much more than you show
Sister Real
