[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

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