Sister (Light The Way)
When your life is more stops than starts.
When the mud on your face makes it hard to open your eyes
When your last prayer lay shattered
And no one will stand behind the truth in my words

So, Sister, Let me light the way, let me light the way when your path is dark in front of you
Sister, one day when my path is dark you can light the way for me too

On my last leg
On my last stand
Me and God, I cried in a whisper
Please remind me of who I was brought here to be
Who am I?
Give me strength, be my mirror

So, Sister, Let me light the way, let me light the way when your path is dark in front of you
Sister, one day when my path is dark you can light the way for me too


Mary's tears washed the way
For me to walk through
Sweet Joanna, she walked by my side
The darkest nights I knew
The darkest nights I knew

So, Sister, Let me light the way, let me light the way when your path is dark in front of you
Sister, one day when my path is dark you can light the way for me too

    Still awesome 14 years of following šŸ‘

    I hope you are still creating music. Your talent should not be wasted.
  • @DK3CHAMP
    You have an amazing talent. I'm rather perplexed why you haven't become relatively famous by now. You have more talent than most people on the radio right now.
  • You have such a pretty voice, the song is beautiful, i can relate my sister died when i was 17, many years ago. I wish i could write songs like you, i can sing.
  • The song is truly quite beautiful. The melody is catchy, and the lyrics evoked an emotional remembrance for me, too. Thank you for sharing this.
  • Beautiful. I was listening to Vashti Bunyan and I was reminded of you. Listened to I Drew My Ship afterwards. Love your rendition of Katie Cruel. Now I'm here again. Hope to hear more from you!

    Iā€™ve been listening to you for a long time. Bought two of your albums. And your voice ALWAYS amazes me! Always a fan......

    As much as I appreciate YouTube for its content, the siteā€™s algorhythms have ruined many a potential career as evidenced by the singer of this song, who Iā€™m just now hearing for the very first time even though the majority of her clips have been here for 10 years or more and Iā€™ve been here on this site on a daily basis for just as long. Now hearing Gentle Eyes, Iā€™m in a state of shock, finding one of the best singers Iā€™ve ever heard and seeing that many of her clips donā€™t even have 100 views. What the He11 is up with YouTube? Why not more views? Obviously, if she is only today being offered to me, the same thing is happening to most, if not all viewers. I can guarantee that if she had been available to all, her following would be in the thousands, at the very least. Cripes, thereā€™s a preteen violinist that YouTube had been putting a half dozen of more of her clips everytime I come on to the site. Iā€™ve only watched her once but see that many of the clips have hundreds of thousands of views. I feel so bad for the Gentle Eyes and others like her; it seems so unfair.
  • Hey love your music. When you had the coffeescup channel you had a cover of house of the rising sun. Is that available anywhere anymore?
