(Leonard Cohen)

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 this song
Oh, I hope you run into them
You who've been trav'lling so long.

Yes, you who must leave everything
That you cannot control
It begins with your family
But soon it comes around to your soul.

Well, I've been where you're hangin'
And I think I can see how you're pinned
When you're not feeling holy
Your loneliness says that you've sinned.

Well, they lay down beside me
I made my confessions 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 find that they sweetened your night
We weren't lovers like that and besides
It would still be all right.

We weren't lovers like that
And besides it would still be all right...

Mirror lyrics:

And besides it would still be all right...
We weren't lovers like that

It would still be all right.
We weren't lovers like that and besides
If I find that they sweetened your night
And you won't make me jealous

You can read their address by the moon.
Don't turn on the lights
I hope you run into them soon
When I left they were sleeping

That is graceful and green as a stem.
They will bind you with love
That the seasons tear off and condemn
If your life is a leaf

And I touched the dew on their hem.
They touched both my eyes
I made my confessions to them
Well, they lay down beside me

Your loneliness says that you've sinned.
When you're not feeling holy
And I think I can see how you're pinned
Well, I've been where you're hangin'

But soon it comes around to your soul.
It begins with your family
That you cannot control
Yes, you who must leave everything

You who've been trav'lling so long.
Oh, I hope you run into them
And later they brought me this song
And they brought me their comfort

That I just can't go on.
They were waiting for me when I thought
They are not departed or gone
Oh, the sisters of mercy

(Leonard Cohen)
