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
