Lyrics The Jayhawks – Sister Cry

Sister cry, what you needed
Bought yourself things you could not use
Could be some man will come along and claim you
Could be you’ll wind up in another town

Sister cry, count the stars
Is many in the sky that passed you by
Could be up ahead you’ll be seeing changes
Somehow changes made won’t belong to you

Someone come along and carry you down
And you called my name
I was so hungry then
Someone come along and carry you down
You could not see you
Someone come along and lay you down
And you don’t talk at all
It’s the hardest way
Someone come along and carry you down

Sister cry, been mistreated
Doesn’t mean someone won’t let you in
Could be some man will come along and claim you
Could be you’ll wind up in another down

This devil’s knocking at your door
But I could lead them all astray
Just don’t matter what people say

Someone come along and carry you down
And you called my name
I was so hungry then
Someone come along and carry you down
You could not see you
Someone come along and lay you down

Sister cry, count the stars
Is many in the sky that passed you by
Could be up ahead you’ll be seeing changes
Somehow changes made won’t belong to you
Could be up ahead you’ll be seeing changes
Somehow changes made won’t belong to you
