Oh my sisters, where have you gone?
The sun in setting know, it’s time we’re getting back to
Brighter days, I felt a change, I heard it on the wind,
The sun was setting then
And we’re still running now, across the yard
Into our willow’s loving arms
I’ll never leave you never leave you now
Oh my sisters, my how you’ve grown
The light is reaching long, I fear I’m just strong enough
To walk away, on the day those girls would make you cry
You’ll run til it turns light
And you’re still running now, away for me
Into a darkness where I never learned to see
I cannot follow cannot follow you
Oh my lovely, I’m not fit to keep you safe
I’m so sorry I can’t stand to take you hand
Lord above me, will your eyes follow her down?
Sirens plan to drag us from this town…
Oh my sisters, my how you’ve grown
The light is reaching long, I fear I’m just strong enough
To walk away, on the day those girls would make you cry
You’ll run til it turns light
And you’re still running now, away for me Into a darkness where
I never learned to see I cannot follow cannot follow you
Oh my sister, teach me to run, the dark is reaching long, the light is going, gone

Tasty. Literally a malt for your soul. Drenched in cool. I am here for the way her honeyed vocals and rich harmonies go down easy. Don't sleep. No Money In My Pocket / I got the love. Samantha Rise
Unreal, unapologetic, unstoppable. Her incredible flow, full of quirks and slickness, & amazing production feel to me a muscle building a new realm of hip-hop on the front of the black feminist wave. Samantha Rise
These songs are my everything ,and Esme Patterson is a dreamboat. Presence, purpose, openess and a frank loveliness, floating. I could drive to Philly form WY and back again this record. Samantha Rise
