Sisters

The Last Lullaby




It's been five years ago tonight
I held your hand in candlelight
And as you gently closed your eyes
I sang to you Irene goodnight

O sister when I take a walk
I think of you and how we'd talk
And how you'd always find a way
To lighten up a darkened day

And here am I who must remain
A rolling stone a burning flame
No melancholy verse have I
No one to answer how or why

So late tonight I light the flame
That brings you to me once again
And through a whisper I may cry
I know you're somewhere taken flight

It's been five years ago tonight
I held your hand in candlelight
And as you drifted off to sleep
I sang to you Irene Goodnight

I sing to you Irene Goodnight
