[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
