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 ✿
