Oh Sisters of Mercy they are not depar-ted or gone |
|
They were wait-ing for me when I thought that I just cant go on |
|
And they brought me their comfort and later they brought me their song |
|
Oh I hope you into them you who've been trav-ling so long |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Yes you who must leave everything |
|
|
It begins with your family, |
|
but soon it comes round to your soul |
|
Well I've been where you're hanging |
|
I think I can see how you're pinned |
|
When you're not feeling holy |
|
Your loneliness says that your've sinned |
|
|
|
I made my confession to them |
|
They touched both my eyes |
|
And I touched the dew on their hem |
|
|
That the seasons tear off and condemn |
|
They will bind yoou with love |
|
That is graceful and green as a stem |
|
|
When I left they were sleeping |
|
I hope you run into them soon |
|
|
You can read their address by the moon |
|
And you wont make me jealous |
|
If I hear that they sweetened your night |
|
|
|
|
|
We werent lov-ers like that |
|
|
And besides it would still be all right |
|
|
|
We werent lovers like that |
|
|
And besides it would still be all right |
|
