Sisters of Mercy Dion

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

They brought me their comfort
Then later, they brought me this song
I hope you run into them
You, who've been travelling so long, mmm

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, mmm

Yes, you who must leave everything
That you cannot control
It begins with your family
But later gets 'round to your soul

I've been where you're hanging
And I think I can see how you're pinned
When you're not feeling holy
Your loneliness tell you, you've sinned, mmm
