Sister Cry Songtext
von The Jayhawks

Sister cry
For what you needed
You bought yourself things you could not use
Could be some man will come along and claim you
Could be you wind up in another town

Sister cry
And count the stars
There′s many in the sky that pass you by
Could be up ahead you'll be seeing changes
Somehow the changes made won′t belong to you

Someone come along and carry you down
And he called my name
I was so hungry then
He could not see you
Someone come along and carry you down
Hey, don't talk at all
It's the hardest way
Someone come along and carry you down


Sister cry
You′ve been mistreated
It doesn′t mean someone won't let you in
Could be some man will come along and claim you
Could be you wind up in another town

There′s devils knocking at your door
But I can lead them all astray
Just no matter what people say

Someone come along and carry you down
And he called my name
I was so hungry then
He could not see you
Someone come along and carry you down
Hey, don't talk at all
It′s the hardest way
Someone come along and carry you down

Sister cry
Count the stars
There's many in the sky that pass you by
Could be up ahead you′ll be seeing changes
Somehow the changes made won't belong to you
Could be up ahead you'll be seeing changes
Somehow the changes made won′t belong to you
