Oh Sis-ters of Mer-cy they are not de-par-ted or gone
They were wait-ing for me when I thought that I just cant go on
And they brought me their com-fort and later they brought me their song
Oh I hope you into them you who've been trav-ling 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
I think I can see how you're pinned
When you're not feeling holy
Your loneliness says that your've sinned
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 yoou with love
That is graceful and green as a stem
When I left they were sleeping
I hope you run into them soon
Dont turn on the lights
You can read their address by the moon
And you wont make me jealous
If I hear that they sweetened your night
We werent lov-ers like that
And besides it would still be all right
We werent lovers like that
And besides it would still be all right
A7
