Sisters of Mercy

All the Sisters of Mercy, they are not departed or gone
 ♪
 They were waiting for me when I thought that I just can't go on
 ♪
 And they brought me their comfort then later they brought me this song
 
 Oh, I hope you run into them, you, who've been travelling so long
 ♪
 Yes, you who must leave everything that you cannot control
 
 It begins with your family but soon it comes around to your soul
 Well, I've been where you're hanging, I think I'm can see how you're pinned
 When you're not feeling holy your loneliness says that you've sinned
 ♪
 Well, they lay down beside me, I made my confession to them
 ♪
 They touched both my eyes, I touched the dew on their hem
 If your life is a leaf that the seasons tear off and condemn
 They will bind you with love that is graceful and green as a stem
 ♪
 When I left they were sleeping I hope you run into them soon
 
 Don't turn on the lights, you can read their address by the moon
 
 And you won't make me jealous if I hear that they sweetened your night
 We weren't lovers like that and besides, it would still be alright
