All 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 then later they brought me this song
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 around to your soul
ย
Well, I've been where you're hanging, I think I'm can see how you're pinned
ย
When you're not feeling holy your loneliness says that you've sinned
ย
Well, they lay down beside me, I made my confession to them
ย
They touched both my eyes, I touched the dew on their hem
If your life is a leaf that the seasons tear off and condemn
ย
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
ย
We weren't lovers like that and besides, it would still be alright
ย
We weren't lovers like that and besides, it would still be alright
