| [00:01.000] |
Oh the sisters of mercy, |
| [00:03.740] |
they are not departed or gone. |
| [00:12.450] |
They were waiting for me |
| [00:15.050] |
when I thought that I just can't go on. |
| [00:23.020] |
And they brought me their comfort and later |
| [00:26.670] |
they brought me this song. |
| [00:33.350] |
Oh I hope you run into them, |
| [00:36.640] |
you who've been travelling so long. |
| [00:40.900] |
|
| [00:59.160] |
Yes you who must leave everything |
| [01:09.790] |
that you cannot control. |
| [01:17.210] |
It begins with your family, |
| [01:20.020] |
but soon it comes around to your soul. |
| [01:27.450] |
Well I've been where you're hanging, |
| [01:30.240] |
I think I can see how you're pinned. |
| [01:37.690] |
When you're not feeling holy, |
| [01:40.390] |
your loneliness says that you've sinned. |
| [01:44.280] |
|
| [02:00.070] |
Well they lay down beside me, |
| [02:02.970] |
I made my confession to them. |
| [02:10.920] |
They touched both my eyes |
| [02:13.920] |
and I touched the dew on their hem. |
| [02:20.830] |
If your life is a leaf |
| [02:23.670] |
that the seasons tear off and condemn |
| [02:31.250] |
they will bind you with love |
| [02:33.690] |
that is graceful and green as a stem. |
| [02:37.420] |
|
| [02:53.320] |
When I left they were sleeping, |
| [02:55.800] |
I hope you run into them soon. |
| [03:04.220] |
Don't turn on the lights, |
| [03:06.520] |
you can read their address by the moon. |
| [03:13.880] |
And you won't make me jealous |
| [03:16.450] |
if I hear that they sweetened your night. |
| [03:23.930] |
We weren't lovers like that |
| [03:26.480] |
and besides it would still be all right, |
| [03:34.410] |
We weren't lovers like that |
| [03:37.330] |
and besides it would still be all right. |
