lyrics

she came from a Catholic family, the last to fall off of the tree
I met the middle who told me and hinted of a history
and right away then I would dream that she’d come home and then see me
and recognize the common soul from all those lives ago

and dear Lord how I miss her, bring back home the youngest sister
she had to go far away to see what fate may await
when she said she had to leave, I was as brave as I could be
so I said goodbye and kissed her and cried for the youngest sister

when I met her I recognized an ancient light behind her eyes
that we shared in all our past lives when we were at each other’s side
it took time to find her again but there she stood my old friend
from childhood dreams and fantasies, the one again I’d meet

and dear Lord how I miss her, bring back home the youngest sister
she had to go far away to see what fate may await
when she said she had to leave, I was as brave as I could be
so I said goodbye and kissed her and cried for the youngest sister

bring back home the youngest sister, bring back home the youngest sister
if there’s a God up in the sky, I need now at least to try
to break my vow and pray for first time as a man to say
this soul’s split in half and yearns for the youngest sister’s

there comes a time in all these lives when we must part and say goodbye
and wonder if we’ll meet again whether in this life or the next
but I can’t wait that long and even though I know it’s wrong
I’ll sacrifice patience for faith to have her here this coming day

and dear Lord how I miss her, bring back home the youngest sister
she had to go far away to see what fate may await
when she said she had to leave, I was as brave as I could be
so I said goodbye and kissed her and cried for the youngest sister
