She takes the sun right out of the the sky

Do, do, do, do, do

Steals all the light from out of your eyes 

Do, do, do, do, do

You never know when she's gonna call

Do, do, do, do, do

You let her in and you're gonna fall

Do, do, do, do, do

 

Sweet sister sorrow plays her game

She's made of tears, she's made of pain

She knows all the hurt in your heart

 

Despair is there when she is around

Do, do, do, do, do

Her siren's call enticing you down

Do, do, do, do, do

 

Sweet sister sorrow plays her game (sweet sister sorrow plays her game)

She's made of tears, she's made of pain

She knows all the hurt in your heart

 

She takes the sun right out of the the sky

Do, do, do, do, do

Steals all the light from out of your eyes

Do, do, do, do, do

You never know when she's gonna call

Do, do, do, do, do

You let her in and you're gonna fall

Do, do, do, do, do

 

Sweet sister sorrow plays her game (sweet sister sorrow plays her game)

She's made of tears, she's made of pain

She knows all the hurt in your heart

She knows all the hurt in your heart

She knows all the hurt in your heart

She knows all the hurt in your heart (all the hurt in your heart)

Do, do, do, do, do
