Mother, daughter, sister, lover Her needles and pins hold the pieces together She'll thread your pearls with her words of wisdom In the palm of her hand, your future is there, running Through
Mother, daughter, sister, lover There's no perfect choice, as you walk in your future Be still, a child on your bed of eggshell Behind your first steps, it's her shadows that cushion Your fall
All questions will simply beg The most innocent replies She'll make you a daisy chain And cry as you walk away
Mother, daughter, sister, lover Her needles and pins hold the pieces together She'll thread your pearls with her words of wisdom A shoulder to cry on She'll leave all the lights on for you Yeah, she will leave them on for you
All questions will simply beg The most innocent replies She'll make you a daisy chain And cry as you break away
Mother, daughter, sister, lover One day soon you'll be one or the other You'll offer forgiveness, my savior, my sinner And then you will see that the circle begins here with Mother, daughter, sister, lover Father, and son, brother, lover
One day soon you'll be one or the other And you'll see that the circle begins here with... me
We can grow together We can walk together We can laugh We can cry together Mother, daughter Sister, lover Father, and son Brother, lover One day soon I'll discover What will be One or the other
