Sister Real - Elliott Murphy, Ernie Brooks

Paperback novels remind me of you

The girl on the cover - a literary deja vu

Down by the seashore I shoulda listened to Lou

'Bout you and your captain - your captain and his crew

You know you hurt me - more than you know

You can desert me - but I'll never go

'Cause I'm always dreaming of Bethlehem snow

Of animals waiting - down in New Mexico

For Sister Real - Sister Real

The men of the old world meet the women of the new
armed with apologies - they retreat to the zoo
But that was on TV - so that means it's true
Bookstores were empty - libraries too
Took my education - took it down to the bank
Expecting revelations - all I got was thanks
'Cause I'm always dreaming - of New York sky
Of big jets waiting - of my turn to fly
To Sister Real - Sister Real

You an your hero - he and his wife
enthralled in the promise of a sisterly life
Up on the mountain - a vision came to me
Of a golden Goddess - on a beach in Waikiki
You know you love me - more than you know
More than you feel it - more than you show
'Cause I'm always dreaming - your legs in the air
Circles of passion - designs in the hair
Of Sister Real - Sister Real
