SIXPENCE NONE THE RICHER LYRICS - Sister, Mother

"Sister, Mother"



My life is plagued

By mistakes, broken love, slaps in the face.

But I'm trying to care, to dare to embrace your face.



Hug him like a brother.

Kiss her like a sister.

Let it be my mother for now.



I want to find where the maid in the street

Is pouring her wine.

I heard she takes you in and gives you the words

You need said.



If you'll be her brother,

She'll kiss you like a sister.

She'll even be your mother for now.



Hug him like a brother.

Kiss her like a sister.

Let it be my mother.

Let it be my father.

I will be her brother.

Kiss her like a sister.

Come and be my mother forever.
