Words and music by Roddy Frame

|
Here she comes now sister in shadow
|
Lights up my day 'til there's no tomorrow
|
Almond eyes set in olive skin,
|
Betray the anger burnin' white within
|
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
|
Her memory lingers then fades and turns to black
|
Slippin' through my fingers, shiftin' shape and doublin' back
|
|
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
|
|
Here she comes now Sister of Shiva
|
Dark destroyer, holy deceiver
|
I feel her rising as you're drawing near
|
Look in your eyes I see her shadow appear
|
Love is blind, it's a one way twistin' track
|
She's always behind me but there's no turnin' back
|
|
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
|
