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
