[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.
