"Sister, Mother" lyrics - SIXPENCE NONE THE RICHER

My life is plagued
By mistakes, broken love
Slaps in the face
But I'm trying to care
To dare to embrace
Your face

[Chorus 1:]
Hug him like a brother
Kiss her like a sister
Let her 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

[Chorus 2:]
If you'll be her brother
She'll kiss you like a sister
She'll even be your mother
For now

[Instrumental break]

[Bridge:]
Hug him like a brother
Kiss her like a sister
Let it be my mother
Let it be my father

[Chorus 3:]
I will be her brother
Kiss her like a sister
Come and be my mother
Forever

[Instrumental Outro]
