Dion Sisters Of Mercy
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
They brought me their comfort
Then later, they brought me this song
I hope you run into them
You, who've been travelling so long, mmm
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, mmm
Yes, you who must leave everything
That you cannot control
It begins with your family
But later gets 'round to your soul
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 tell you, you've sinned, mmm
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 it won't make me jealous
If I've learned that they've sweetened your night
We weren't lovers like that
And besides, it would still be alright
