Sister Frideswide Lyrics
Dear, Sister Frideswide
She's got some problems
Dear, Sister Frideswide
She fell in love with the boys from the town
The boys from the town, the boys from the town
They keep calling, dear, Sister Frideswide
She's tries to ignore them
But they make her feel wanted
And she's torn between them and the voice from the clouds
The voice from the clouds, the voice from the clouds
The voice from the clouds, the voice from the clouds
The voice from the clouds
It's a calling, calling, calling
It's a calling, calling
Woah
And she knows she should not be lonely
But she's lonely, ooh yes she is
And she knows He'll always be there
Yes He'll be there when she gets down on her knees
Dear, Sister Frideswide
She's got to yearning
Dear, Sister Frideswide
And it's burning a hole in the back of the mind
The back of the mind, the back of the mind
In the back of the mind, keep it deep down inside
In the back of your mind
They keep calling, calling, calling
They keep calling, calling
Woah
And she knows she should not be lonely
But she's lonely, ooh yes she is
And she knows he'll always be there
Yes he'll be there when she gets down on her knees
Woah
They keep calling, calling, calling
They keep calling, calling
Woah
In the back of her mind
In the back of her mind
In the back of her mind
It's still burning, burning
Woah
Sister Frideswide, Frideswide, Frideswide
She's been yearning, yearning
Woah
They keep calling, calling, calling
They keep calling, calling
Woah
Sister Frideswide
