  • I do relate to you in so many ways
    But I didn't go through what you must have in those early days
    You had to be strong at such a very young age
    A new life on Ilima Lane

    So won't you listen to me now?
    There's something I never told you, and I'm about to try
    See, you were my lifeline when the world was exploding

    You moved back in with us in the Fall of '82
    I fell into dark times and you were there to help me through
    You told me that a downturn will eventually improve
    And you were right, so I'm thanking you

    So won't you listen to me now?
    There's something I never told you, and I'm about to try
    See, you were my lifeline when the world was exploding
    Footholds eroding
    Had you never been my friend
    I wouldn't be quite what you see
    I wouldn't be the man I am

    Sister, you've known me (sister, you've known me)
    Lost in a strange world (sister, you've known me)
    What has it shown me? (Sister, you've known me)
    What has it unfurled? (Sister, you've known me)
    Sister, you've known me (sister, you've known me)
    Been lost in a strange world (sister, you've known me)
    But what has it shown me? (Sister, you've known me)
    What has it unfurled? (Sister, you've known me)

    October chill in that old dusty town
    Halloween came, I was still feeling down
    Mom, I lost my sweet tooth, what's the point in going 'round?
    Your boy is losing count
    Maybe try the lost and found Writer/s: James Mercer
