Oh the sisters of mercy
They are not departed or gone
ย
They were waiting for me
When I thought that I just can't go on
ย
And they brought me their comfort
And later they brought me this song
ย
Oh I hope you run into them
You who've been travelling so long
ย
Yes you who must leave everything
That you cannot control
ย
It begins with your family
But soon it comes round to your soul
ย
Well, I've been where you're hanging
I think I can see how you're pinned
ย
When you're not feeling holy
Your loneliness says that you've sinned
ย
They lay down beside me
I made my confession to them
ย
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
ย
When I left they were sleeping
I hope you run into them soon
ย
Don't turn on the lights
You can read their address by the moon
ย
And you won't make me jealous
If I hear that they sweetened your night
We weren't lovers like that
And besides it would still be all right
ย
We weren't lovers like that
And besides it would still be all right
ย
