[00:00.89]Oh the sisters of mercy
[00:04.30]They are not departed or gone
[00:07.73]
[00:12.11]They were waiting for me
[00:14.80]When I thought that I just can't go on
[00:18.67]
[00:22.50]And they brought me their comfort
[00:25.75]And later they brought me this song
[00:28.91]
[00:32.85]Oh I hope you run into them
[00:36.24]You who've been travelling so long
[00:39.18]
[00:55.55]You who must leave everything
[00:58.80]
[00:59.62]That you cannot control
[01:01.87]
[01:05.99]It begins with your family
[01:08.80]But soon it comes round to your soul
[01:12.05]
[01:15.86]Well I've been where you're hanging
[01:19.49]I think I can see how you're pinned
[01:21.89]
[01:26.14]When you're not feeling holy
[01:29.08]Your loneliness tells that you've sinned
[01:32.39]
[01:48.57]They lay down beside me
[01:51.38]I made my confession to them
[01:55.46]
[01:59.46]They touched both my eyes
[02:01.96]And I touched the dew on their hem
[02:05.26]
[02:09.14]If your life is a leaf
[02:12.08]That the seasons tear off and condemn
[02:16.02]
[02:19.52]They will bind you with love
[02:22.02]That is graceful and green as a stem
[02:26.02]
[02:41.58]When I left they were sleeping
[02:44.20]I hope you run into them soon
[02:48.14]
[02:52.14]Don't turn on the light
[02:54.02]You can read their address by the moon
[02:58.77]
[03:02.08]And you won't make me jealous
[03:04.71]If I heard that they sweetened your night
[03:08.60]
[03:12.22]We weren't lovers like that
[03:14.58]And besides it would still be all right
[03:18.71]
[03:22.39]We weren't lovers like that
[03:24.96]And besides it would still be all right
