Natalie Merchant - Sister Tilly

Oh, Miss Tilly, I think you should know
Everyone's missing you here
With your hair in a mess, in your outdated dress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
With 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
Oh, I just can't believe that you're gone
You've gone so far away
That you're gone
You've gone so far away
Gone

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

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 I wish you could stay
But you're gone, you've gone so far away
But you're gone, gone
You've gone so far away
Gone, mmm
Gone

Oh, you've gone away
You've gone away
Oh, you've gone
You've gone 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

You're a constellation
A white light vibration now
A superpower, a lotus flower
No sensation, no temptation
No delusion, no confusion now

Go on
Go on without us
Don't think about us now
Go on
