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 traveling so long
Yes, you who must leave everything 
That you cannot control
It begins with your family 
But soon it comes 'round to your soul
Well I've been where you're hanging 
And 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 make my confessions 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 
And 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 find they have 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
