If you want to leave, "˜ain't no way I'm ever "˜gonna stop you now
tears don't come cheap, and there's not a single dry eye in the house
sister please
you were by my side all through the cold winds' blow
ow I bring you wild flowers, you only stand and scream for me to go
sister please
there's a slow steady rain coming down
tugging like your monkey on my sleeve
you draw your shades to keep the light from reaching through
if your life-line breaks, you will drown so many more than you
it's true, sister please
ow there's a slow steady pain in my heart
tugging like your monkey on my sleeve
trying to love a junkie is such a lonely place to be
sister, I have lied for you
like I have lied for the truth
sister
it's all in the way you move, not the words you say
like a permanent mark you can't wash away
it's all in the whispered words ringing in my ears
it's all up to you now
and there's a slow steady rain coming down
tugging like your monkey on my sleeve
