Sister Tilly

Oh, Miss Tilly, I think you should know everyone’s missing you here —
With your hair a mess in your outdated dress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
Rilke poems and your stacks of Mother Jones
Your feminist raves in your Didion shades
And your Zeppelin so loud, so proud
Zeppelin so loud, 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
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...
