Brother/Sister/Sun Lyrics

And now I know just what you were trying to say

I close my eyes a little long and the road just stretched away

But how I've wanted to sing up into the rafters

That I don't want to go or stay

And how I've wanted to sing up into the rafters

But I know my voice will fade away

And Brother Sun, can you come on out

'Cause I've been lying down in the water

And Sister Moon can you help me out

'Cause I'm your favorite daughter's lover

And I don't know my left from my right most days

So what gives me the right to sing such a sad song?

And now we speak restless whispers through the night

And now we speak while the river flows on by

But how I've wanted to sing up into the rafters

That it don't have to be this way

And how I've wanted to sing up into the rafters

If others joined it would be okay

And Brother Sun, can you come on out

'Cause I've been lying down in the water

And Sister Moon can you help me out

'Cause I'm your favorite daughter's lover

And I just know the rhyme and reason for too much that happens these days

Does that give me the right to sing such a sad song?
