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 travelling so long

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 tells 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 light
you can read their address by the moon
and you won't make me jealous
if I heard that they sweetened your night
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
if I heard 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 light
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 confession to them
They lay down beside me

your loneliness tells that you've sinned
When you're not feeling holy
I think I can see how you're pinned
well, I've been where you're hanging
but soon it comes round to your soul
it begins with your family
that you cannot control
You who must leave everything

you who've been travelling so long
Oh I hope you run into them
and later they brought me this song
And they brought me their comfort
when I thought that I just can't go on
they were waiting for me
they are not departed or gone,
Oh the sisters of mercy
