That a creature could be so lonely
It became my deepest wish
To give her my love

To embrace her forever
And to have her find some peace
She who was so lonely

Came with volumes of feeling I have never known
Except perhaps for Mary
And she was always my sister

And she was always my sister

That a creature could be so lonely

It became my deepest wish
To give her my love
To embrace her forever

And to have her find some peace
She who was so lonely
Came with volumes

Volumes of feeling
I have never known
Except perhaps for Mary

And she was always my sister
