Words and music by Leonard Cohen
2
Oh the sisters of mercy
3
They are not departed or gone
4
They were waiting for me
5
When I thought that I just can't go on
6
And they brought me their comfort
7
And later they brought me this song
8
Oh I hope you run into them
9
You who've been travelling so long.
10
Yes, you who must leave everything
11
That you cannot control
12
It begins with your family
13
But soon it comes around to your soul
14
Well I've been where you're hanging
15
I think I can see how you're pinned
16
When you're not feeling holy
17
Your loneliness says that you've sinned.
18
Well they lay down beside me
19
I made my confession to them
20
They touched both my eyes
21
And I touched the dew on their hem
22
If your life is a leaf
23
That the seasons tear off and condemn
24
They will bind you with love
25
That is graceful and green as a stem.
26
When I left they were sleeping
27
I hope you run into them soon
28
Don't turn on the lights
29
You can read their address by the moon
30
And you won't make me jealous
31
If I hear that they sweetened your night
32
We weren't lovers like that
33
And besides it would still be all right
34
We weren't lovers like that
35
And besides it would still be all right
