Saw your sister today,
She was young and pretty.
Didn’t see she was you,
She was young and happy.
What were you like then,
In the verdure of youth,
In that other world past,
Where hope and dreams once lived?
What fate made you thus,
And not that other girl?
Such little steps make a turn,
Once taken cannot be changed.
Where is that beauty I saw today,
How was so much lost so quickly?
Where is that sister-girl I saw today?
Is she gone or just below your stone face?
I thought I saw her once,
But she was worn and tired.
Where did that sweet soul go,
Did it really vanish?
I thought I saw it once,
But it was worn and tired.
Where did your sister-girl go?
I only saw her once.
Where did your sweet soul go?
I only saw it once…
