Jackie K - Sister of Stone

A plain white dress, down to her feet, Annie stared at the ground
Mama started to weep as the preacher read
A ring made of wire, and then they were wed
Not a lot of time to celebrate, always more work to do
The religion of the day
Dust kicked up by the horses, we all waved our goodbyes
And the couple drove away
My sister of stone, sister of mercy
A new mama crowned
We'll never forget you
She was made up of flesh, now she's only a story
Just dust in the ground
Sister of stone
The new baby came in the purple light of dusk as the sky began to fade
It was long and hard, and her eyes teared with joy
As she looked down upon her new baby boy
But Annie didn't live to see the sunrise at dawn
Time to deliver the rites
There was baby in the water, and sister in the grave
Time to celebrate a life that we couldn't save
Sister of stone, my sister of mercy
A new mama crowned,
And I'll never forget you
She was made up of flesh, now she's only a story
Just dust in the ground
Sister of stone
And with the branch of a tree, we etched her name
On the tombstone that we made
And through the snow and the wind it still stands to mark the love that she gave
My sister of stone, my sister of mercy
A new mama crowned,
And I'll never forget you
She was made up of flesh, now she's only a story
Just dust in the ground
Sister of stone
My sister of stone, sister of mercy
A new mama crowned
I'll never forget you
Made up of flesh, now she's only a story
Just dust in the ground
Sister of stone
Just dust in the ground
Sister of stone
Just dust in the ground
My sister of stone
