EADAEADA Oh the Sisters of Mercy they are not departed or gone
C#mG#mC#mG#mEEsus4 E They were waiting for me when I thought that I just can't go on
DAGF#mE Esus4 E And they brought me their comfort and later they brought me this song
ADAEAD Oh I hope you run into them you who've been traveling so long
DE
ADAEADA Yes you who must leave everything that you cannot control
C#mG#mC#mG#mEEsus4 E It begins with your family, but soon it comes round to your soul
DAGF#mEEsus4 E Well I've been where you're hanging I think I can see how you're pinned
ADAEAD When you're not feeling holy your loneliness says that you've sinned
DE
ADAEADA They lay down beside me I made my confession to them
C#mG#mC#mG#mEEsus4 E They touched both my eyes and I touched the dew on their hem
DAGF#mE Esus4 E If your life is a leaf that the seasons tear off and condemn
ADAEAD They will bind you with love that is graceful and green as a stem
DE
ADAEADA When I left they were sleeping I hope you run into them soon
C#mG#mC#mG#mEEsus4 E Dont turn on the lights you can read their address by the moon
DAGF#mEEsus4 E And you won't make me jealous if I hear that they sweetened your night
DE
ADAEA We weren't lovers like that and besides it would still be all right
ADAEA
