Sisters
Maybe Carrie's clueless, sleeping shotgun shoeless
What these morning moments mean to her sister Val
Dawn rolls on the prairie, like a man who she once married
Soft, warm and heavy, is all the burden she allows
But you carry me, like you have, you always did
And I love you more than I resent you, many years I am, I always will
Yes, you carry me, like you've done since we were kids
I love you more than other mortals, but not enough, I never will
Maybe Val is tired from her hours on the wire
And it hangs her heart haphazardly to her sister's hook
Carrie bows her laces, they avoid each other's faces
The space is clear and comforting, neither needs to look
But you carry me, like you have, you always did
I love you more than I resent you, many years I am, I always will
Yes, you carry me, like you've done since we were kids
I love you more than other mortals, but not enough, I never will
Val drives Carrie every day to work
Sixty-seven miles to make before 8 o'clock
What these morning moments mean to her sister Val
Dawn rolls on the prairie, like a man who she once married
Soft, warm and heavy, is all the burden she allows
But you carry me, like you have, you always did
And I love you more than I resent you, many years I am, I always will
Yes, you carry me, like you've done since we were kids
I love you more than other mortals, but not enough, I never will
Maybe Val is tired from her hours on the wire
And it hangs her heart haphazardly to her sister's hook
Carrie bows her laces, they avoid each other's faces
The space is clear and comforting, neither needs to look
But you carry me, like you have, you always did
I love you more than I resent you, many years I am, I always will
Yes, you carry me, like you've done since we were kids
I love you more than other mortals, but not enough, I never will
Val drives Carrie every day to work
Sixty-seven miles to make before 8 o'clock
