00:07All the Sisters of Mercy, they are not departed or gone.
00:17They were waiting for me when I thought that I just can't go on.
00:26And they brought me their comfort, and later they brought me this song.
00:36Oh, I hope you run into them, you who've been traveling so long.
00:50Yes, you must leave everything that you cannot control.
00:59It begins with your family, but soon it comes round to your soul.
01:08Well, I've been where you're hanging, and I think I can see how you're pinned.
01:17When you're not feeling holy, your loneliness says that you've sinned.
01:31Well, they lay down beside me, I made my confession to them.
01:41They touched both my eyes, and I touched the dew on their hem.
01:49If your life is a leaf that the seasons tear off and condemn,
01:58they will bind you with love that is graceful and green as a stem.
02:12When I left, they were sleeping, I hope you run into them soon.
02:22Don't turn on the lights, you can read their address by the moon.
02:31And you won't make me jealous if I hear that they've sweetened your night.
02:40We weren't lovers like that, and besides, it would still be alright.
02:54We weren't lovers like that, and besides, it would still be alright.
03:00You're welcome.
03:03You are welcome.
