Sister I Need Wine

Sister, I need wine For color in my skin And darkness for my eyes But I can see the light burn through Still it is the night brings me to you Sister, use your gift The backed up river spreads On ground for fighting words And I am hating the ignorance in my body And I can't feed on the heaviness Sister, I need you And we will dance for gold And straddle the hour of fear And learn the real story Drink the truth Shed not one tear
