Sister Anne Lyrics

The beaten up old gates and old cracked paints

Distant lights that flicker out to sea

Wind swept promenades adorning all postcards

Birdsongs, playing dogs, and bumblebees

We're winding up old clocks and dusting shells

Edmund stamps, cash to pay the bills

The sisterhood is thriving with new recruits arriving day by day

In a steady stream, it's a dream

Let sister anne draw her conclusions

Just add the vestry, mow the lawn

It's the norm, don't let anybody tell you otherwise

Pebbles from the beach on windowsills

Sip yesterday's communion wine until

Sunset's quiet amazing, the chapel cats are lazing

They've been chasing little squeakers under pews

Pay them the dues

Let sister anne draw her conclusions

Just add the vestry, mow the lawn

It's the norm, don't let anybody tell you otherwise

As the congregation rises a collective breath is drawn

Coffee mornings, jumbo sails and for some the search goes on

As the voices lived as one so the lost is slowly drawn

To edmund's awnings, their adorning?

Let sister anne cast her aspersions

Just add the vestry, mow the lawn

It's the norm, don't let anybody tell you otherwise

Just be wise
