Sister Summer – Emily Triggs

Did someone tell you sister
that I’ll be leaving soon
The warm dark hands are reaching out
and I’ll be going home
You can tell our father
I’ll bring him his long tan pipe
I’ll wrap myself into his arms
and I’ll feel his warmth again

I’ve been missing you
since last I heard your voice
I knew that you were busy
and time gave you no choice
I’ve been missing you
We both know I still am
My love it never waned for you, Diane

You can tell the summer
I don’t need her to come back
I love the winter endlessly
I’ve embraced its darkest hours
You can tell the rivers
not to let go of the ice
I see the water rush underneath
my feet from where I stand

Depuis la dernier fois
Tu me manque toujour
Je savais que tu etais occupée
Le temp devenue trop court
Depuis la dernier fois
Tu me manque toujour
Mon amour reste fidèle pour toi, Diane

I’ve been missing you
We both know I still am
My love it never waned for you
My love it never waned for you
My love it never waned for you, Diane
