[00:00.180]Oh the sisters of mercy
[00:03.910]they are not departed or gone,
[00:11.950]they were waiting for me
[00:14.270]when I thought that I just can't go on
[00:22.440]And they brought me their comfort
[00:25.270]and later they brought me this song
[00:32.689]Oh I hope you run into them
[00:36.700]you who've been travelling so long
[00:55.410]You who must leave everything
[00:59.200]that you cannot control
[01:05.960]it begins with your family
[01:08.630]but soon it comes round to your soul
[01:15.710]well, I've been where you're hanging
[01:18.330]I think I can see how you're pinned
[01:25.940]When you're not feeling holy
[01:28.360]your loneliness tells that you've sinned
[01:48.240]They lay down beside me
[01:51.120]I made my confession to them
[01:59.140]they touched both my eyes
[02:01.760]and I touched the dew on their hem
[02:08.978]If your life is a leaf
[02:12.210]that the seasons tear off and condemn
[02:19.380]they will bind you with love
[02:22.110]that is graceful and green as a stem
[02:41.550]When I left they were sleeping
[02:44.130]I hope you run into them soon
[02:52.500]don't turn on the light
[02:54.380]you can read their address by the moon
[03:02.500]and you won't make me jealous
[03:04.780]if I heard that they sweetened your night
[03:11.970]we weren't lovers like that
[03:14.290]and besides it would still be all right
[03:22.270]we weren't lovers like that
[03:24.740]and besides it would still be all right
