[00:00.00] |
Siters of mercy |
[00:00.05] |
Leonard Cohen |
[00:00.08] |
|
[00:01.00] |
Oh the sisters of mercy, |
[00:03.74] |
they are not departed or gone. |
[00:12.45] |
They were waiting for me |
[00:15.05] |
when I thought that I just can't go on. |
[00:23.02] |
And they brought me their comfort and later |
[00:26.67] |
they brought me this song. |
[00:33.35] |
Oh I hope you run into them, |
[00:36.64] |
you who've been travelling so long. |
[00:40.90] |
|
[00:56.46] |
Yes you who must leave everything |
[01:00.49] |
that you cannot control. |
[01:07.01] |
It begins with your family, |
[01:09.82] |
but soon it comes around to your soul. |
[01:17.25] |
Well I've been where you're hanging, |
[01:20.04] |
I think I can see how you're pinned. |
[01:27.49] |
When you're not feeling holy, |
[01:30.19] |
your loneliness says that you've sinned. |
[01:34.08] |
|
[01:49.87] |
Well they lay down beside me, |
[01:52.77] |
I made my confession to them. |
[02:00.72] |
They touched both my eyes |
[02:03.72] |
and I touched the dew on their hem. |
[02:10.63] |
If your life is a leaf |
[02:13.47] |
that the seasons tear off and condemn |
[02:21.05] |
they will bind you with love |
[02:23.49] |
that is graceful and green as a stem. |
[02:27.22] |
|
[02:43.12] |
When I left they were sleeping, |
[02:45.60] |
I hope you run into them soon. |
[02:54.02] |
Don't turn on the lights, |
[02:56.32] |
you can read their address by the moon. |
[03:03.68] |
And you won't make me jealous |
[03:06.25] |
if I hear that they sweetened your night. |
[03:13.73] |
We weren't lovers like that |
[03:16.28] |
and besides it would still be all right, |
[03:24.21] |
We weren't lovers like that |
[03:27.13] |
and besides it would still be all right. |
