Siters of mercy |
| [00:00.05] |
Leonard Cohen |
| [00:00.08] |
|
| [00:01.00] |
Oh the sisters of mercy, |
| [00:03.74] |
they are not departed or gone. |
| [00:12.45] |
They were waiting for me |
| [00:15.05] |
when I thought that I just can't go on. |
| [00:23.02] |
And they brought me their comfort and later |
| [00:26.67] |
they brought me this song. |
| [00:33.35] |
Oh I hope you run into them, |
| [00:36.64] |
you who've been travelling so long. |
| [00:40.90] |
|
| [00:56.46] |
Yes you who must leave everything |
| [01:00.49] |
that you cannot control. |
| [01:07.01] |
It begins with your family, |
| [01:09.82] |
but soon it comes around to your soul. |
| [01:17.25] |
Well I've been where you're hanging, |
| [01:20.04] |
I think I can see how you're pinned. |
| [01:27.49] |
When you're not feeling holy, |
| [01:30.19] |
your loneliness says that you've sinned. |
| [01:34.08] |
|
| [01:49.87] |
Well they lay down beside me, |
| [01:52.77] |
I made my confession to them. |
| [02:00.72] |
They touched both my eyes |
| [02:03.72] |
and I touched the dew on their hem. |
| [02:10.63] |
If your life is a leaf |
| [02:13.47] |
that the seasons tear off and condemn |
| [02:21.05] |
they will bind you with love |
| [02:23.49] |
that is graceful and green as a stem. |
| [02:27.22] |
|
| [02:43.12] |
When I left they were sleeping, |
| [02:45.60] |
I hope you run into them soon. |
| [02:54.02] |
Don't turn on the lights, |
| [02:56.32] |
you can read their address by the moon. |
| [03:03.68] |
And you won't make me jealous |
| [03:06.25] |
if I hear that they sweetened your night. |
| [03:13.73] |
We weren't lovers like that |
| [03:16.28] |
and besides it would still be all right, |
| [03:24.21] |
We weren't lovers like that |
| [03:27.13] |
and besides it would still be all right. |
