Lyrics
The Sisters
You used to come and leave again when I was young
Make me long for the forbidden...
You'd let me glimpse some of your secret parts
But keep the rest hidden...
You used to tempt with your perfume, and woo me
With your strange delights...
Although I really liked your sister more back then
In her pretty dress of white...
But you'd play your tricks, you'd pour me wine
Let there be music in the air
You'd always come around
When your sister weren't there
But I chose her, and told myself I'd hold you off
She'd bring a better life...
I thought I could be a better man back then
So I took her for my wife...
But you'd play your tricks, you'd pour me wine
Let there be music in the air
You'd always come around
When your sister weren't there
Until one time, soon after dusk, I ran away
Your charms lured me from her light...
I left behind the darling bride I used to love, and
Now I'm married to the night...
Now, you play your tricks, you pour me wine
Let there be music in the air
You'll always be around
'Cause your sister, she isn't there...
