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 ValerieBy 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
