[00:00.94]Oh the sisters of mercy
[00:05.94]they are not departed or gone
[00:14.77]they were waiting for me
[00:14.18]When I thought that I just can't go on
[00:27.96]and they brought me their comfort
[00:30.82]and later they brought me this song
[00:38.56]Oh I hope you run into them
[00:43.25]you who've been travelling so long
[00:50.55]✿
[01:05.05]You who must leave everything
[01:09.75]that you cannot control
[01:13.00]✿
[01:17.00]It begins with your family
[01:20.11]but soon it comes round to your soul
[01:28.06]Well  I've been where you're hanging
[01:31.82]I think I can see how you're pinned
[01:38.23]When you're not feeling holy
[01:42.07]Your loneliness tells that you've sinned
[01:48.87]✿
[03:13.02]They lay down beside me
[03:15.94]I made my confession to them
[03:25.71]They touched both my eyes
[03:28.05]And I touched the dew on their hem
[03:36.55]If your life is a leaf
[03:39.72]That the seasons tear off and condemn
[03:46.18]They will bind you with love
[03:50.16]That is graceful and green as a stem
[03:57.16]✿
[04:11.00]When I left they were sleeping
[04:14.17]I hope you run into them soon
[04:23.94]Don't turn on the light
[04:25.84]You can read their address by the moon
[04:34.76]And you won't make me jealous
[04:37.56]If I heard that they sweetened your night
[04:43.50]We weren't lovers like that
[04:46.02]And besides it would still be all right
[04:51.00]✿
