Jayhawks – Sister Cry lyrics

(Louris, Olson) Pedal Blue Music/Warner-Tamerlane Publishing Corp. BMI

Sister cry, what you needed
Bought yourself things you could not use
Could be some man will come along and claim you
Could be you'll wind up in another town.

Sister cry, count the stars.
Is many in the sky that passed you by.
Could be up ahead you'll be seeing changes.
Somehow changes made won't belong to you.

Chorus:
Someone come along and carry you down
And you called my name
I was so hungry then
Someone come along and carry you down
You could not see you
Someone come along and lay you down
And you don't talk at all
It's the hardest way
Someone come along and carry you down

Sister cry, been mistreated.
Doesn't mean someone won't let you in.
Could be some man will come along and claim you
Could be you'll wind up in another down

This devil's knocking at your door
But I could lead them all astray
Just don't matter what people say

(Chorus)

Sister cry, count the stars.
Is many in the sky that passed you by.
Could be up ahead you'll be seeing changes.
Somehow changes made won't belong to you.
Could be up ahead you'll be seeing changes.
Somehow changes made won't belong to you.
