Sisters of Mercy (Live)
Oh the sisters of mercy
they are not departed or gone
they were waiting for me
When I thought that I just can't go on
and they brought me their comfort
and later they brought me this song
Oh I hope you run into them
you who've been travelling so long
✿
You who must leave everything
that you cannot control
✿
It begins with your family
but soon it comes round to your soul
Well  I've been where you're hanging
I think I can see how you're pinned
When you're not feeling holy
Your loneliness tells that you've sinned
✿
They lay down beside me
I made my confession to them
They touched both my eyes
And I touched the dew on their hem
If your life is a leaf
That the seasons tear off and condemn
They will bind you with love
That is graceful and green as a stem
✿
When I left they were sleeping
I hope you run into them soon
Don't turn on the light
You can read their address by the moon
And you won't make me jealous
If I heard that they sweetened your night
We weren't lovers like that
And besides it would still be all right
