[00:00.18] Oh the sisters of mercy
[00:03.91] they are not departed or gone,
[00:07.91]
[00:11.95] they were waiting for me
[00:14.27] when I thought that I just can't go on
[00:18.35]
[00:22.44] And they brought me their comfort
[00:25.27] and later they brought me this song
[00:29.86]
[00:32.69] Oh I hope you run into them
[00:36.07] you who've been travelling so long
[00:39.65]
[00:55.41] You who must leave everything
[00:59.20] that you cannot control
[01:03.33]
[01:05.96] it begins with your family
[01:08.63] but soon it comes round to your soul
[01:12.43]
[01:15.71] well, I've been where you're hanging
[01:18.33] I think I can see how you're pinned
[01:21.96]
[01:25.94] When you're not feeling holy
[01:28.36] your loneliness tells that you've sinned
[01:32.20]
[01:48.24] They lay down beside me
[01:51.12] I made my confession to them
[01:56.06]
[01:59.14] they touched both my eyes
[02:01.76] and I touched the dew on their hem
[02:05.90]
[02:08.98] If your life is a leaf
[02:12.21] that the seasons tear off and condemn
[02:16.50]
[02:19.38] they will bind you with love
[02:22.11] that is graceful and green as a stem
[02:25.43]
[02:41.55] When I left they were sleeping
[02:44.13] I hope you run into them soon
[02:47.66]
[02:52.05] don't turn on the light
[02:54.38] you can read their address by the moon
[02:58.46]
[03:02.05] and you won't make me jealous
[03:04.78] if I heard that they sweetened your night
[03:08.91]
[03:11.97] we weren't lovers like that
[03:14.29] and besides it would still be all right
[03:18.98]
[03:22.27] we weren't lovers like that
[03:24.74] and besides it would still be all right
