[00:16.51] Oh, the sisters of mercy, they are not departed or gone [00:26.50] They were waiting for me when I thought that I just can't go on [00:31.92] And they brought me their comfort and later they brought me this song [00:40.09] Oh, I hope you run into them, you who've been travelling so long [00:48.26] Yes, you who must leave everything that you cannot control [00:55.42] It begins with your family, but soon it comes around to your soul [01:03.53] Well, I've been where you're hanging, I think I can see how you're pinned [01:10.85] When you're not feeling holy, your loneliness says that you've sinned [01:19.90] Well, they lay down beside me, I made my confession to them [01:27.11] They touched both my eyes and I touched the dew on their hem [01:35.24] If your life is a leaf that the seasons tear off and condemn [01:43.40] They will bind you with love that is graceful and green as a stem [02:27.65] When I left they were sleeping, I hope you run into them soon [02:34.93] Don't turn on the lights, you can read their address by the moon [02:42.18] And you won't make me jealous if I hear that they sweetened your night [02:50.31] We weren't lovers like that and besides, it would still be all right [03:15.63] We weren't lovers like that and besides, it would still be all right [03:16.52]
