Innocent Little Sister -5/14/88

You hear my footsteps on the wooden floor
Smell the alcohol on my breath
Feel my kiss on your sleepin cheek - sister
Wonder if I mean what I say - I mean it
You are the whole world to me
I'd die before I'd let you die
I'd embrace a full ragin flame for you
And not even think to ask you why
You see me start the car up loud
You hear me say, "I don't want to play"
But when it comes down to the bottom line
For you - any game in any way
Sleep has made your cheeks red with heat
And the sweat of summer naturally flows
Seein you is hard to take
Containin my love for you is tough coz it grows
And grows and grows
Siobhan sleep easy on your soft little bed
Keep the world from goin to your head
Keepin innocence is hard I know
What's even harder is for me to let you go
Tuck that blankie up under your chin
You try to refrain from suckin' your thumb
Keep the blankie as long as you want
Childhood lasts til the thumb is numb
I love
Your innocence
I envy your youth and I would die for you
