Sister Shadow Lyrics by Roddy Frame

The North Star

1998

[Verse 1]
Here she comes now, sister in shadow
Lights up my day till there's no tomorrow
Almond eyes set in olive skin
Betray the anger burnin' white within

[Verse 2]
There she goes dumbin' down for them all and
Speakin' in code when sufferin' is calling
When the city's steppin' out to play
She cuts a dash in tenement grey

[Pre-Chorus]
Her memory lingers
Then fades and turns to black
Slippin' through my fingers
Shiftin' shape and doublin' back

[Chorus]
What you gonna do when the bells are ringin'?
Happiness and joy and the birds are singin' for you
Sister shadow
And it's all so dutiful
Where you gonna go when the city is swingin'?
Really reelin' and you're feelin' like it's so unreal
Sweet, sweet nothings
Loud and clear, sister shadow

[Verse 3]
Here she comes now, sister of Shiva
Dark destroyer, holy deceiver
I feel her risin' as you're drawing near
Look in your eyes, I see her shadow appear

[Pre-Chorus]
Love is blind
It's a one way twistin' track
She's always behind me
But there's no turnin' back

[Chorus]
What you gonna do when the bells are ringin'?
Happiness and joy and the birds are singin' for you
Sister shadow
And it's all so dutiful
Where you gonna go when the city is swingin'?
Really reelin' and you're feelin' like it's so unreal
Sweet, sweet nothings
Loud and clear, sister shadow
What you gonna do when the bells are ringin'?
Happiness and joy and the birds are singin' for you
Sister shadow
And it's all so dutiful
Where you gonna go when the city is swingin'?
Really reelin' and you're feelin' like it's so unreal
Sweet, sweet nothings
Loud and clear, sister shadow
