Lyrics for Sisters of Mercy - Live in Toronto, 1993

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 yes, I hope you run into them You who've been travelling so long Yeah 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 Well, when you're not feeling holy Your loneliness says that you've sinned 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 Aw 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 Aw we weren't lovers like that And besides it would still be all right
