Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh, sister, when I come to lie in your arms
You should not treat me like a stranger
Our father would not like the way that you act
And you must realize the danger
[Verse 2]
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?
[Verse 3]
We grew up together from the cradle to the grave
We died and were reborn and then mysteriously saved
[Verse 4]
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
Written by: Bob Dylan, Jacques Levy
