Words and music by roddy frame



Here she comes now sister in shadow

Lights up my day 'til there's no tomorrow

Almond eyes set in olive skin,

Betray the anger burnin' white within

There she goes dumbin' down for them all

And speakin' in code when sufferin' is calling

When the city's steppin' out to play

She cuts a dash in tenement grey

Her memory lingers then fades and turns to black

Slippin' through my fingers, shiftin' shape and doublin' back



What you gonna do when the bells are ringin'

Happiness and joy and the birds are singin'

For you sister shadow and it's all so dutiful

Where you gonna go when the city is swingin'

Really reelin' and you're feelin' like it's so unreal

Sweet, sweet nothings loud and clear, sister shadow



Here she comes now sister of shiva

Dark destroyer, holy deceiver

I feel her rising as you're drawing near

Look in your eyes i see her shadow appear

Love is blind, it's a one way twistin' track

She's always behind me but there's no turnin' back



What you gonna do when the bells are ringin'

Happiness and joy and the birds are singin'

For you sister shadow and it's all so dutiful

Where you gonna go when the city is swingin'

Really reelin' and you're feelin' like it's so unreal

Sweet, sweet nothings loud and clear, sister shadow
