| [00:15.460] |
Oh the sisters of mercy |
| [00:17.130] |
They are not departed or gone |
| [00:20.580] |
|
| [00:23.180] |
They were waiting for me |
| [00:25.110] |
When I thought that |
| [00:26.420] |
I just can't go on |
| [00:28.930] |
|
| [00:31.060] |
And they brought me their comfort |
| [00:32.970] |
And later they brought me this song |
| [00:36.190] |
|
| [00:39.050] |
Oh I hope you run into them |
| [00:41.150] |
You who've been travelling so long |
| [00:44.130] |
|
| [00:47.100] |
Yes you who must leave everything |
| [00:49.540] |
That you cannot control |
| [00:51.820] |
|
| [00:54.850] |
It begins with your family |
| [00:57.100] |
But soon it comes around to your soul |
| [00:59.860] |
|
| [01:02.740] |
Well I've been where you're hanging |
| [01:05.160] |
I think I can see how you're pinned |
| [01:08.220] |
|
| [01:10.750] |
When you're not feeling holy |
| [01:12.560] |
Your loneliness says |
| [01:14.480] |
That you've sinned |
| [01:15.660] |
|
| [01:17.840] |
Well they lay down beside me |
| [01:20.750] |
I made my confession to them |
| [01:23.750] |
|
| [01:26.530] |
They touched both my eyes |
| [01:28.830] |
And I touched the dew on their hem |
| [01:31.780] |
|
| [01:34.510] |
If your life is a leaf |
| [01:36.460] |
That the seasons tear off and condemn |
| [01:39.750] |
|
| [01:42.400] |
They will bind you with love |
| [01:44.270] |
That is graceful and green as a stem |
| [01:47.530] |
|
| [02:26.570] |
When I left they were sleeping |
| [02:28.340] |
I hope you run into them soon |
| [02:31.560] |
|
| [02:34.310] |
Don't turn on the lights |
| [02:35.940] |
You can read their address by the moon |
| [02:39.280] |
|
| [02:41.940] |
And you won't make me jealous |
| [02:44.110] |
If I hear that they sweetened your night |
| [02:46.950] |
|
| [02:49.940] |
We weren't lovers like that |
| [02:51.590] |
And besides it would still be all right |
