     C
        When I was 13 I had a sister for 6 months
     Em
        She arrived one February morning, pale and shell shocked
     C                                                                Em
        From past lives I could not imagine. She was 3 years older than me but in no time we became friends
     C                                                    Em
        We'd listen to her mix tapes; Dead Can Dance, Felt, This Mortal Coil
                                         C                                              Em
        She introduced me to her favorite books, gave me clothes and my first cigarette
 
                                C
        Sometimes we would head down to Blackbirds Moor to watch the barges on Grand Union in the twilight
    Em                                                  C
                She said, "The water has no memory"
                             Em
        For a few months everything about our lives was perfect
                                                [N.C. on 1]
        It was only us. We were inseparable
 
 
 
   (1.47) Percussion break
        N.C.
        But gradually she passed into another distant part of my memory
                                                                                [C on 1]
        Until I could no longer remember her face, her voice, even her name
