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
We weren't lovers like that and besides, it would still be alright
