The Sister You Never Had

Turn off the T.V
& please set the table
The casserole's ready at 6
& go fetch your brother
He's down at Patricia's
They're watching horror flicks
They'll show you the scary part
A wolf rips a man apart
From within there's no defense
Like 3 plates at dinner
Ever since the winter
It doesn't make any sense

Changes come with the seasons
Let summer turn into fall
There's no use complaining
You don't want things changing
At all

15 years later
You live on an island
But you've got your telephone calls
You'll see mom at Christmas
& Dad at Thanksgiving
Your brother you won't see at all
He's living abroad now
Somewhere in England
& going by Deborah or Paul
He signed you a postcard
The sister you never had
You've got it pinned to your wall

Changes come with the seasons
Let summer turn into fall
There's no use complaining
You don't want things changing
At all
