[00:00.51]Oh the sisters of mercy
[00:05.23]They are not departed or gone
[00:11.34]
[00:14.86]They were waiting for me
[00:18.46]When I thought that I just can’t go on
[00:27.49]And they brought me their comfort
[00:30.92]And later they brought me this song
[00:38.58]Oh yes, I hope you run into them
[00:43.18]You who’ve been travelling so long
[00:49.17]
[01:04.96]Yeah you who must leave everything
[01:09.33]That you cannot control
[01:13.55]
[01:16.43]It begins with your family
[01:19.35]But soon it comes ’round to your soul
[01:24.83]
[01:27.77]Well, I’ve been where you’re hanging
[01:30.65]And I think I can see how you’re pinned
[01:38.49]Well, when you’re not feeling holy
[01:41.98]Your loneliness says that you’ve sinned
[01:47.58]
[03:13.03]They lay down beside me
[03:16.46]I made my confession to them
[03:21.67]
[03:24.30]They touched both my eyes
[03:28.07]I touched the dew on their hem
[03:32.98]
[03:35.58]If your life is a leaf
[03:38.31]That the seasons tear off and condemn
[03:45.87]Aw they will bind you with love
[03:49.30]That is graceful and green as a stem
[03:56.05]When I left they were sleeping
[04:14.44]I hope you run into them soon
[04:18.93]
[04:21.75]Don’t turn on the lights
[04:24.57]You can read their address by the moon
[04:32.77]And you won’t make me jealous
[04:35.14]If I hear that they sweetened your night
[04:43.17]Aw we weren’t lovers like that
[04:46.37]And besides it would still be all right
