Correction Lyrics Sister Tilly by Natalie Merchant

Lyrics

Oh, Miss Tilly, I think you should know everyone’s missing you here —
With your hair a mess in your outdated dress
When Halston was all the rage back in your Chelsea Girl days

Oh, Miss Tilly, I think you should know everyone’s missing you here —
Your bright yellow walls and your pashmina shawls
Crystals, chimes and your moonflower vines
Tinctures, teas and your secret remedies
And your voice like Buffy Sainte Marie
I just can’t believe that you’re gone
That you’ve gone so far away

Oh, Miss Tilly, I think you should know everyonе’s missing you here —
Fortune tеlling cards, prayer flags in the yard
Rilke poems and your stacks of Mother Jones
Your feminist raves in your Didion shades
And your Zeppelin so loud and so proud

Here’s to your days at the barricades
Here’s to the girls in the fray
Oh, how we wish you could stay
But you’re gone; you’ve gone so far away

Sister Tilly, you go on without us
Sister Tilly, you don’t think about us now
Everything fades away

Sister Tilly, you’re a superpower
Sister Tilly, you’re a lotus flower now
Everything fades away

Sister Tilly, you’re a constellation
Sister Tilly, you’re a white light vibration now
Everything fades away

No craving for sensation
No want, and no temptation now
Tears fall down like rain

No fear and no delusion
No doubt and no confusion now
Tears fall down like rain

There’s nothing but the big forever
There’s nothing but a sweet surrender now
