Lyrics
Oh the sisters of mercy
They are not the heart of the gun
They were waiting for me
When I thought that I just can't go on
And they brought me their comfort
And later they brought me this song
Oh I hope you'll run into them
You who've been travelling so long
All the sisters of mercy
All the sisters of mercy
You who must leave everything
That you cannot control
It begins with your family
But it soon comes round to your soul
I've been where you're hanging
I think I can see where you've been
When you're not feeling holy
Your loneliness tells you your sin
All the sisters of mercy
All the sisters of mercy
They lay down beside me
I made my confession to them
They touched both my eyes
And I touched the dew on their hem
If your life is a leaf
That the seasons tear off and condemn
They will bind you with love
That is graceful and green as a stem
All the sisters of mercy
All the sisters of mercy
When I left they were sleeping
I hope you'll run into them soon
Don't turn on the light
You can meet them by the moon
You won't make me jealous
If I hear that they're sweet in the night
But we weren't lovers like that
And besides it could be alright
All the sisters of mercy
All the sisters of mercy
All the sisters of mercy
They are not the heart of the gun
They were waiting for me
When I thought that I just can't go on
And they brought me their comfort
And later they brought me this song
Oh I hope you'll run into them
You who've been travelling so long
All the sisters of mercy
All the sisters of mercy
All the sisters of mercy
All the sisters of mercy
All the sisters of mercy
