Dear Sister Lyrics by Scott McKenzie

Stained Glass Morning

0

[Verse 1]
Dear Sister, I sing this letter to you
Hear it, listen to me say
That this stone around my neck won't stop turning, no
And each turn takes me another mile away
[Chorus]
And it won't tell me where I'm going
And it won't tell me where I've been
And it won't tell me if I'll ever
Get back to you again
[Verse 2]
Won't you settle for this necklace strung from highways
Wear it, listen to me say
That this fire behind my eyes won't stop burning, no
And until the flame is out I can never stay
[Chorus]
And it won't tell me where I'm going
And it won't tell me where I've been
And it won't tell me if I'll ever
Get back to you again
[Verse 3]
And it's always just the same
I go through the door again and keep moving
When the light starts growing dim
I've gotta reach up for the rim of a beginning
[Verse 4]
But someday, somewhere
When these bitter days are over
Then the stories of my streets
Can cease their telling
