| [00:00.180] |
Oh the sisters of mercy |
| [00:03.910] |
they are not departed or gone, |
| [00:11.950] |
they were waiting for me |
| [00:14.270] |
when I thought that I just can't go on |
| [00:22.440] |
And they brought me their comfort |
| [00:25.270] |
and later they brought me this song |
| [00:32.689] |
Oh I hope you run into them |
| [00:36.700] |
you who've been travelling so long |
| [00:55.410] |
You who must leave everything |
| [00:59.200] |
that you cannot control |
| [01:05.960] |
it begins with your family |
| [01:08.630] |
but soon it comes round to your soul |
| [01:15.710] |
well, I've been where you're hanging |
| [01:18.330] |
I think I can see how you're pinned |
| [01:25.940] |
When you're not feeling holy |
| [01:28.360] |
your loneliness tells that you've sinned |
| [01:48.240] |
They lay down beside me |
| [01:51.120] |
I made my confession to them |
| [01:59.140] |
they touched both my eyes |
| [02:01.760] |
and I touched the dew on their hem |
| [02:08.978] |
If your life is a leaf |
| [02:12.210] |
that the seasons tear off and condemn |
| [02:19.380] |
they will bind you with love |
| [02:22.110] |
that is graceful and green as a stem |
| [02:41.550] |
When I left they were sleeping |
| [02:44.130] |
I hope you run into them soon |
| [02:52.500] |
don't turn on the light |
| [02:54.380] |
you can read their address by the moon |
| [03:02.500] |
and you won't make me jealous |
| [03:04.780] |
if I heard that they sweetened your night |
| [03:11.970] |
we weren't lovers like that |
| [03:14.290] |
and besides it would still be all right |
| [03:22.270] |
we weren't lovers like that |
| [03:24.740] |
and besides it would still be all right |
