Estelle - Libby O'Donovan

Estelle Lyrics

Climbed to the top of the big cedar tree,
you gave me a berry and it poisoned me, Estelle
I know you so well
You put me in a pram and you filled it with toys
and then you pushed it over and you blamed the boys, Estelle
I know you so well
For eleven straight years in the scorching hot
We drove to Carathal without a stop
and the special doll that we had to share
flew out the window and I pulled your hair, Estelle
We had to share a bed, you would hate it the most
You would chop my arm if I moved too close, Estelle
I know you so well
You promised to play cricket after Barbie and Ken
but it never ever happened and I'd fall for it again and again
I know you so well
Remember at school when they picked on you
and I said to them "You'll have to take me too"

They chased us down to Mrs. Johnson's place
and she took us in and we stuffed our faces
and we're friends, sisters first,
I've seen your best, you've seen my worst
No one knows you like I do
No one sees me quite like you
and every hour, every year
every smile and every tear
Every secret we don't tell,
Estelle
You were 13 going on 23
You said you'd runaway but you wouldn't leave me, Estelle
I know you so well
You could be a saint, You could be Mary and Moses
but you picked the wrong man and you love Guns and Roses, Estelle
I know you so well
You were 8 months pregnant when he pushed you down
and two years later you were still on the ground
You saved the kids and you left that place
and now your smile is back upon your sweet sweet face
and we're friends, sisters first,
You've seen my best, I've seen your worst
No one knows you like I do
No one sees me quite like you
and every hour, every year
every smile and every tear
Every secret we don't tell,
Estelle
My sister, my sister, Estelle
my sister, my sister
