Leonard Cohen - 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
And they brought me their comfort
And later they brought me their 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
I think I can see how you're pinned
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
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
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
We weren't lovers like that
And besides it would still be alright.
