Generate meaning
1
Oh the sisters of mercy
2
They are not departed or gone
3
They were waiting for me
4
When I thought that I just can't go on
5
And they brought me their comfort
6
And later they brought me this song
7
Oh I hope you run into them
8
You who've been traveling so long.
9
Yes, you who must leave everything
10
That you cannot control
11
It begins with your family
12
But soon it comes around to your soul
13
Well I've been where you're hanging
14
I think I can see how you're pinned
15
When you're not feeling holy
16
Your loneliness says that you've sinned.
17
Well they lay down beside me
18
I made my confession to them
19
They touched both my eyes
20
And I touched the dew on their hem
21
If your life is a leaf
22
That the seasons tear off and condemn
23
They will bind you with love
24
That is graceful and green as a stem.
25
When I left they were sleeping
26
I hope you run into them soon
27
Don't turn on the lights
28
You can read their address by the moon
29
And you won't make me jealous
30
If I hear that they sweetened your night
31
We weren't lovers like that
32
And besides it would still be all right
33
We weren't lovers like that
34
And besides it would still be all right
