Antony and the Johnsons

You Are My Sister

You are my sister, we were born

So innocent, so full of need

There were times we were friends but times I was so cruel

Each night I'd ask for you to watch me as I sleep



I was so afraid of the night

You seemed to move through the places that I feared

You lived inside my world so softly

Protected only by the kindness of your nature



You are my sister

And I love you

May all of your dreams come true



We felt so differently then

So similar over the years

The way we laugh the way we experience pain

So many memories

But theres nothing left to gain from remembering

Faces and worlds that no one else will ever know



You are my sister

And I love you

May all of your dreams come true

I want this for you

They're gonna come true (gonna come true)
