| [00:00.00] | Siters of mercy |
| [00:00.05] | Leonard Cohen |
| [00:00.08] | |
| [00:01.00] | Oh the sisters of mercy, |
| [00:03.74] | they are not departed or gone. |
| [00:12.45] | They were waiting for me |
| [00:15.05] | when I thought that I just can't go on. |
| [00:23.02] | And they brought me their comfort and later |
| [00:26.67] | they brought me this song. |
| [00:33.35] | Oh I hope you run into them, |
| [00:36.64] | you who've been travelling so long. |
| [00:40.90] | |
| [00:56.46] | Yes you who must leave everything |
| [01:00.49] | that you cannot control. |
| [01:07.01] | It begins with your family, |
| [01:09.82] | but soon it comes around to your soul. |
| [01:17.25] | Well I've been where you're hanging, |
| [01:20.04] | I think I can see how you're pinned. |
| [01:27.49] | When you're not feeling holy, |
| [01:30.19] | your loneliness says that you've sinned. |
| [01:34.08] | |
| [01:49.87] | Well they lay down beside me, |
| [01:52.77] | I made my confession to them. |
| [02:00.72] | They touched both my eyes |
| [02:03.72] | and I touched the dew on their hem. |
| [02:10.63] | If your life is a leaf |
| [02:13.47] | that the seasons tear off and condemn |
| [02:21.05] | they will bind you with love |
| [02:23.49] | that is graceful and green as a stem. |
| [02:27.22] | |
| [02:43.12] | When I left they were sleeping, |
| [02:45.60] | I hope you run into them soon. |
| [02:54.02] | Don't turn on the lights, |
| [02:56.32] | you can read their address by the moon. |
| [03:03.68] | And you won't make me jealous |
| [03:06.25] | if I hear that they sweetened your night. |
| [03:13.73] | We weren't lovers like that |
| [03:16.28] | and besides it would still be all right, |
| [03:24.21] | We weren't lovers like that |
| [03:27.13] | and besides it would still be all right. |
