I could have stayed in your bed forever
painted stars out on your windows panes
or hung a dance upon your shadow
to trace your footsteps in the rain
to trace your footsteps in the rain.
I will remain your friend forever
walking hand in hand, hand in hand
somehow close your eyes and try not to tremble.
Sister change.
When we first met you possessed a smile
that caused all us crocodiles
to turn green with envy,
I stayed awhile and watched it fade away
so did it fade away like a day in december
wished I'd hung a dance
upon your shadow.
Sister change.
I could have stayed in your arms forever
painted stars out on your window panes,
somehow close your eyes
and try not to tremble.
Sister change.
