Album: Swaddling Songs
Reverend Sisters I remember were it yesterday
standing young and green before the wisdom
age and your black habits wrought
"life is not a dream you know" you said
"at your age you couldn't know" you said
"come into our office and I'll tell you
where to go"
Reverend Sisters I remember standing in your hall
there among the masses watching reverence
speaking from the stage
"life is all too short my dears" she said
"wisdom will come with the years" she said
"come into our office and I'll show you
come into our office and I'll tell you
where to go"
Reverend Sisters I rememeber everything you see
all your words and teaching left some imprint
on my memory
though I'm sad it had to be this way
as you said we change every day
reverend sisters though I hate to say it
now the veils are lifted from my eyes
and I can see
