Oh 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 and 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 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 and 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 all
right,
We weren't lovers like that and besides it would still be all
right.
