So Sister Lyrics

I wrote your name in dust on a truck
As it rolled out of town
Just in case my love for you might be found
I cried my tears in a mountain stream
They'll sting you one day
I called your name in a giant cave
It echoes to this day

So sister, you're hearing how I miss her
But I don't think that she's hearing my calls
So sister, you're hearing how I miss her
But I don't think that she's hearing my calls
No I don't think that I'm helping my cause

I wrote our names on a subway wall
Just in case you call
I rent a room and its just for two
But where are you?

So sister, you're hearing how I miss her
But I don't think that she's hearing my calls
So sister, you're hearing how I miss her
But I don't think that she's helping my cause
No I don't think that it's helping my cause
No I don't think that I'm helping my cause
No I don't think that I'm helping my cause
So sister, you're hearing how I miss her
But I don't think that she's hearing my calls
So sister, I need to be with her
But I don't think that she's hearing my calls
No I don't think that I'm helping my cause
No I don't think that I'm helping my cause

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
