My Sister Lover Lyrics
[Verse 1]
A feeling sleeping deep inside
You hide it so I'll never find
Today I think I'll waste my time
You never notice you are blind
The dream I have can never be
To photograph what the eye can't see
I fight to live another day
I live to find now come what may
[Pre-Chorus]
Faith in the lord is something I could never have
Faith in my sister is gonna set me free
Faith in the lord is something I will never have
'Cause the lord I know don't got no have faith in me
[Chorus 1]
You're my lover
You're my lover
You're my lover
You're my lover
[Verse 2]
She gives me light when the sun goes down
She gives me strength and I don't drown
She gives me hope and destiny
She gives me air that I can breathe
A feeling sleeping deep inside
You hide it so I'll never find
Today I think I'll waste my time
You never notice you are blind
The dream I have can never be
To photograph what the eye can't see
I fight to live another day
I live to find now come what may
[Pre-Chorus]
Faith in the lord is something I could never have
Faith in my sister is gonna set me free
Faith in the lord is something I will never have
'Cause the lord I know don't got no have faith in me
[Chorus 1]
You're my lover
You're my lover
You're my lover
You're my lover
[Verse 2]
She gives me light when the sun goes down
She gives me strength and I don't drown
She gives me hope and destiny
She gives me air that I can breathe
[Pre-Chorus]
Faith in the lord is something I could never have
Faith in my sister is gonna set me free
Faith in the lord is something I will never have
'Cause the lord I know don't got no faith in me

About
Genius Annotation
“My Sister Lover” was released as a B-side to the single “Stand by Me.”
The title may have been inspired by the female scottish band “Sister Lovers” that Oasis knew before being signed. In fact, Sister Lovers helped Oasis get a chance to play at King Tut’s Wah Wah Hut, where, by chance, Creation Record’s Alan McGee was visiting, he signed them that night, and the rest is history.
