Little Sister
Lou Reed, John Cale
[Verse 1]
Don't call me home, little sister
Before the night is done
My love and I are fleeing
Running into the sun
[Chorus]
Turn to fly, go away
Little bird, please don't stay
Fare thee well
[Verse 2]
Take up all your jewels and gold
Bury them away in the earth
Let your memory reduce them to dust
But don't forget the knife that was thrust
[Chorus]
Turn to fly, go away
Little bird, please don't stay
Fare thee well
[Verse 3]
Frozen kiss by the fountain
Running into the sea
Where shadows choose their horrors
Designed for music
[Chorus]
Turn to fly, go away
Little bird, please don't stay
Fare thee well
