[00:04.20]Oh the sisters of mercy,[00:08.58]they are not departed or gone.[00:15.66]They were waiting for me[00:17.88]when I thought that I just can't go on.[00:21.24]And they brought me their comfort and later[00:29.10]they brought me this song.[00:35.91]Oh I hope you run into them,[00:38.91]you who've been travelling so long.[00:46.32]Yes you who must leave everything[00:49.71]that you cannot control.[00:56.88]It begins with your family,[00:59.40]but soon it comes around to your soul.[01:03.48]Well I've been where you're hanging,[01:09.90]I think I can see how you're pinned.[01:13.08]When you're not feeling holy,[01:19.98]your loneliness says that you've sinned.[02:09.72]Well they lay down beside me,[02:12.60]I made my confession to them.[02:19.71]They touched both my eyes[02:22.41]and I touched the dew on their hem.[02:29.10]If your life is a leaf[02:31.29]that the seasons tear off and condemn[02:38.79]they will bind you with love[02:41.55]that is graceful and green as a stem.[02:49.56]When I left they were sleeping,[02:52.80]I hope you run into them soon.[03:00.90]Don't turn on the lights,[03:02.16]you can read their address by the moon.[03:10.26]And you won't make me jealous[03:11.91]if I hear that they sweetened your night.[03:29.37]We weren't lovers like that[03:32.07]and besides it would still be all right,[03:39.54]We weren't lovers like that[03:42.27]and besides it would still be all right.
