Oh the sisters of mercyThey 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 themYou who've been traveling so long. Yes, you who must leave everything That you cannot control It begins with your familyBut soon it comes around to your soul Well I've been where you're hangingI think I can see how you're pinned When you're not feeling holyYour loneliness says that you've sinned. Well they lay down beside meI made my confession to them They touched both my eyes And I touched the dew on their hem If your life is a leaf SongtexteThat 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 sleepingI hope you run into them soonDon't turn on the lightsYou can read their address by the moon And you won't make me jealousIf I hear that they sweetened your nightWe 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 Aus Songtexte Mania
