  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 confort 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 can not control
  that begins with your family soon it comes around 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.
