- Sister Lyrics / with translationsWhat the water wants is hurricanes
And sailboats to ride on its back
What the water wants is sun kiss
And land to run into and back
I have a fish stone burning my elbow
Reminding me to know that I'm glad
That I have a bottle filled with my old teeth
They fell out like a tear in the bag
And I have a sister somewhere in Detroit
She has black hair and small hands
And I have a kettledrum, I'll hit the earth with you
And I will crochet you a hat
And I have a red kite, I'll put you right in it
I'll show you the sky
And sailboats to ride on its back
What the water wants is sun kiss
And land to run into and back
I have a fish stone burning my elbow
Reminding me to know that I'm glad
That I have a bottle filled with my old teeth
They fell out like a tear in the bag
She has black hair and small hands
And I have a kettledrum, I'll hit the earth with you
And I will crochet you a hat
And I have a red kite, I'll put you right in it
I'll show you the sky
