[00:15.66]Words and music by leonard cohen [00:16.68]Oh the sisters of mercy [00:18.42]They are not departed or gone [00:23.55]They were waiting for me [00:25.50]When I thought that I just can't go on [00:31.53]And they brought me their comfort [00:33.84]And later they brought me this song [00:36.99]Oh I hope you run into them [00:41.82]You who've been travelling so long. [00:47.43]Yes, you who must leave everything [00:50.22]That you cannot control [00:55.44]It begins with your family [00:57.51]But soon it comes around to your soul [01:03.15]Well I've been where you're hanging [01:05.28]I think I can see how you're pinned [01:11.37]When you're not feeling holy [01:13.23]Your loneliness says that you've sinned. [01:15.81]Well they lay down beside me [01:21.33]I made my confession to them [01:27.21]They touched both my eyes [01:29.43]And I touched the dew on their hem [01:34.95]If your life is a leaf [01:36.87]That the seasons tear off and condemn [01:43.62]They will bind you with love [01:44.85]That is graceful and green as a stem. [02:26.88]When I left they were sleeping [02:28.80]I hope you run into them soon [02:30.51]Don't turn on the lights [02:36.51]You can read their address by the moon [02:43.11]And you won't make me jealous [02:44.49]If I hear that they sweetened your night [02:50.55]We weren't lovers like that [02:52.29]And besides it would still be all right [02:54.42]We weren't lovers like that [02:55.08]And besides it would still be all right
