Lyrics

[00:19.070] Sisters of mercy they are not
[00:23.060] Departed or gone
[00:26.300]
[00:31.040] They were waiting for me
[00:33.350] When I thought
[00:35.030] That I just cant go on
[00:38.400]
[00:43.030] And they brought me their comfort
[00:46.270] And later they brought me this song
[00:50.880]
[00:55.190] O I hope you run into them
[00:58.490] You whove been traveling so long
[01:02.800]
[01:21.770] Yes you who must leave everything
[01:25.580] That you cannot control
[01:29.200]
[01:33.690] It begins with your family
[01:36.500] But soon it comes round to your soul
[01:41.390]
[01:45.570] Well I've been where you're hanging
[01:48.220] I think I can see how you're pinned
[01:53.620]
[01:57.740] When you're not feeling holy
[02:00.600] Your loneliness says that you've sinned
[02:05.470]
[02:29.740] Well they lay down beside me
[02:32.430] I made my confession to them
[02:36.780]
[02:41.520] They touched both my eyes
[02:44.520] And I touched the dew on their hem
[02:49.500]
[02:53.620] If your life is a leaf
[02:56.610] That the seasons tear off and condemn
[03:01.350]
[03:05.780] They will bind you with love
[03:08.600] That is graceful and green as a stem
[03:13.210]
[03:31.310] When I left they were sleeping
[03:34.120] I hope you run into them soon
[03:38.360]
[03:43.660] Don't turn on the light
[03:46.160] You can read their address by the moon
[03:51.140]
[03:54.960] And you won't make me jealous
[03:57.630] If I hear that they sweeten your night
[04:02.560]
[04:06.790] We weren't lovers like that
[04:09.290] And besides it would still be all right
[04:13.780]
[04:18.580] We weren't lovers like that
[04:21.000] And besides it would still be all right
