andrew bird - my sister's tiny hands lyrics

Loading...

we came in this world together
legs wrapped around each other
my cheek against my sister’s
we were born like tangled vine

we lived along the river
where the black clouds never lingered
the sunlight spread like honey
through my sister’s tiny hands

but while picking sour apples
in the wild waving gr-sses
sister stumbled in the brier
and was bitten by a snake

every creature casts a shadow
under the sun’s golden fingers
and as the sun sinks past the waving gr-ss
some shadows are dragged along

so alone, i took to drinking
bottles of cheap whiskey
and i staggered through the backwoods
k!lling snakes with a sharpened stick

oh, but still i heard her laughing
in the wild waving gr-sses
still her tiny hands went splashing
at the river’s sparkling sh0r-

so i took my rusty gas can
and an old iron shovel
and i set the woods to blaze
and choked the river up with stones

every creature casts a shadow
under the sun’s golden fingers
and as the sun sinks past the waving gr-ss
some shadows are dragged along
