Leonard Cohen - Sisters Of Mercy Lyrics
O the sisters of mercy they are notDeparted or gone,They were waiting for me when I thoughtThat I just cant go on,And they brought me their comfortAnd later they brought me this song.O I hope you run into themYou whove been traveling so long.Yes, you who must leave everythingThat you cannot control;It begins with your family,But soon it comes round to your soul.Well, Ive been where youre hangingI think I can see how youre pinned.When youre not feeling holy,Your loneliness says that youve sinned.Well they lay down beside meI made my confession to them.They touched both my eyesAnd I touched the dew on their hem.If your life is a leafThat the seasons tear off and condemnThey will bind you with loveThat is graceful and green as a stem.When I left they were sleeping,I hope you run into them soon.Dont turn on the lightYou can read their address by the moon;And you wont make me jealousIf I hear that they sweeten your nightWe werent lovers like thatAnd besides it would still be all rightWe werent lovers like thatAnd besides it would still be all right.
