Two Sisters Lyrics
Two sisters went to the river bend
Went too soon, they're liable to drown
Parked their cars at the edge of the town
Slipped off their gowns and went slithering down
One was the poet's love
One was the poet's wife
One had a fire in her breast
One was the poet's eyes
First they wash their feet
Then they wash their hands
One went right to sleep
The other with gills and fins
One sank down like a rock
As the other one floated away
Thinking about the ticking of clocks
And what will the neighbors say?
And a neighbor said
Two sisters went to the river bend
Went too soon, they're liable to drown
Parked their cars at the edge of the town
Slipped off their gowns and went slithering down
Two sisters went to the river bend
One to swim, the other to drown
Parked their cars at the edge of the town
Slipped off their gowns and went slithering down
To the river bend...
Two sisters went to the river bend
One to swim, the other to drown
Parked their cars at the edge of the town
Slipped off their gowns and went slithering down
Went too soon, they're liable to drown
Parked their cars at the edge of the town
Slipped off their gowns and went slithering down
One was the poet's wife
One had a fire in her breast
One was the poet's eyes
Then they wash their hands
One went right to sleep
The other with gills and fins
As the other one floated away
Thinking about the ticking of clocks
And what will the neighbors say?
And a neighbor said
Went too soon, they're liable to drown
Parked their cars at the edge of the town
Slipped off their gowns and went slithering down
One to swim, the other to drown
Parked their cars at the edge of the town
Slipped off their gowns and went slithering down
One to swim, the other to drown
Parked their cars at the edge of the town
Slipped off their gowns and went slithering down

I believe she says "One to swim, the other to drown" instead of "Went too soon, they're liable to drown."
Anyway, I think this song is based off the legend of the two sisters:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Twa_Sisters
amaaaazing and creepy song! oh! i love how regina combines sweetness with biterness
question... ? is this a cover?
i read the article on wikipedia " http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Twa_Sisters " and i have my doubts
i can't find this song anywhere. anyone know where i could download it?
This isn't a cover, it's a song Regina composed with Levon Vince while studying at SUNY music college, and it's meant to be a piece of music for a film, hence the full name of the song "Final film score- Two Sisters". Lots of people have wrote songs based around this story of two sisters who are sleeping with the same man.
I want to hear it. :(
I found it. = ] I don't know where to download it, but you can hear it here.

The part that says
One was the poet's love One was the poet's love
sounds like it should say
One was the poet's love One was the poet's wife
it has such a haunting melody........... slightly scary, but amazing all the same..... love regina
