What am I to do Oh my fair skinned sister? You are family to me Yet I fear I may be forced To bring the news That I'll not be returning I fear that if I do return It will be on my shield Not with it As the Spartans used to say Here I stand as Leonidas Foolhardy and bold I watch as I crumble As my phalanx fold So what am I to say Oh my fair skinned sister? How long will you mourn my absence? Before you forget And carry on? What am I to think Oh my dark haired sister? What am I to feel? You have been my guide What am I to be Oh my bright eyed comrade My cheerful compatriot My dearest friend? Sing to me Oh my fair skinned sister Some sacred sonnet to save me Play for me Oh my fair skinned sister Some long and lingering lyric Some sweet melodic line Some hypnotic harmony To save me from my mind

Oh My Fair Skinned Sister
What am I to do Oh my fair skinned sister? You are family to me Yet I fear I may be forced To bring the news That I'll not be returning I fear that if I do return It will be on my shield Not with it As the Spartans used to say Here I stand as Leonidas Foolhardy and bold I watch as I crumble As my phalanx fold So what am I to say Oh my fair skinned sister? How long will you mourn my absence? Before you forget And carry on? What am I to think Oh my dark haired sister? What am I to feel? You have been my guide What am I to be Oh my bright eyed comrade My cheerful compatriot My dearest friend? Sing to me Oh my fair skinned sister Some sacred sonnet to save me Play for me Oh my fair skinned sister Some long and lingering lyric Some sweet melodic line Some hypnotic harmony To save me from my mind
