This week's Song of the Week is Sister Valerie, a song I wrote when Donovan was mentoring me in guitar and songwriting. I share the story behind the song. Discover how the song came to life and the creative process behind it. Then, sit back and enjoy the music as I perform the song.
To make it smooth, to make it wonderful
To make it right...
Seems like you've go to sit with it
On your own for a while
-- DONOVAN

Sister Valerie
By Daniel Isle Sky © 2015
Sister Valerie
How'd you get put in here
Poor lonely girl it's time to smile
Sister Valerie
You're a prisoner with the key
Take a vow to laugh not follow
Walk the beach the tide is sweet
Feel the sand under your feet
Kiss a stranger if you can
It's a magic wonderland
Valerie
Sister Valerie
You're a servant to a man
The world's not built for tomorrow
Sister Valerie
Why'd you give your money away
To stay where it's cold at night
Sister Valerie
I confess
You're lovely in a black dress
Sister Valerie
Is there somewhere you should be
There's no half-way house
No in between
Love's lost for some small detail in the story.
Heart is what it's all about.
--DONOVAN
