The whites of her eyes would be strange and delightful
Reflective like mother of pearl
She's got a smile that can make people die
An angel down in our world

Warm feathers and shoulder blades
I long to serve, I could know your face
But oh, heaven feels miles away
Over the clouds and plains
Over the sea and waves

'Cause oh God, I never got to know
The kind of woman you'd be
Blonde hair standing next to me
And oh, tiny warrior queen
Wrapped in white cotton sheets
Sister in arms to me

She'd loved funny movies and blueberry smoothies
Both stealing [?] out of my trunks
We'd fight and we'd scream till we're red in the cheeks
Then run back like watercolours

Warm feathers and shoulder blades
I long to serve, I could know your face
But oh, heaven feels miles away
Over the clouds and plains
Over the sea and waves

Oh God, I never got to know
The kind of woman you'd be
Blonde hair standing next to me
And oh, tiny warrior queen
Wrapped in white cotton sheets
Sister in arms to me

You had the finest, kindest of mothers
In the best of men, your father and brother
Would have spent their life loving each other
As I sit here now, I'm not left to wonder

'Cause oh God, I think I kind of know
The kind of woman you'd be
Blonde hair standing next to me
And oh, she's a vision in green
Warmest silver screeen
Sister in arms to me

The whites of her eyes would be strange and delightful
Reflective like mother of pearl
She's got a smile that can make people die
An angel down in our world
