DESIRE VERSION

G               Bm                    C              G

Oh, sister, when I come to lie in your arms
G                       Em                 C      G
You should not treat me like a stranger.
G                 Bm                       C                   G
Our Father would not like the way that you act
G                     Em            C    G
And you must realize the danger.

(Instrumental)

Oh, sister, am I not a brother to you
And one deserving of affection?
And is our purpose not the same on this earth,
To love and follow his direction?

(Instrumental)

       
F                        C
        We grew up together
   
                      G
        From the cradle to the grave
   
             F                         C
        We died and were reborn
  
                            G                D
        And then mysteriously saved.

Oh, sister, when I come to knock on your door,
Don't turn away, you'll create sorrow.
Time is an ocean but it ends at the shore
You may not see me tomorrow.
