Sisters of Mercy-Serena Ryder

[00:00.00]Siters of mercy [00:00.05]Leonard Cohen [00:00.08] [00:01.00]Oh the sisters of mercy, [00:03.74]they are not departed or gone. [00:12.45]They were waiting for me [00:15.05]when I thought that I just can't go on. [00:23.02]And they brought me their comfort and later [00:26.67]they brought me this song. [00:33.35]Oh I hope you run into them, [00:36.64]you who've been travelling so long. [00:40.90] [00:56.46]Yes you who must leave everything [01:00.49]that you cannot control. [01:07.01]It begins with your family, [01:09.82]but soon it comes around to your soul. [01:17.25]Well I've been where you're hanging, [01:20.04]I think I can see how you're pinned. [01:27.49]When you're not feeling holy, [01:30.19]your loneliness says that you've sinned. [01:34.08] [01:49.87]Well they lay down beside me, [01:52.77]I made my confession to them. [02:00.72]They touched both my eyes [02:03.72]and I touched the dew on their hem. [02:10.63]If your life is a leaf [02:13.47]that the seasons tear off and condemn [02:21.05]they will bind you with love [02:23.49]that is graceful and green as a stem. [02:27.22] [02:43.12]When I left they were sleeping, [02:45.60]I hope you run into them soon. [02:54.02]Don't turn on the lights, [02:56.32]you can read their address by the moon. [03:03.68]And you won't make me jealous [03:06.25]if I hear that they sweetened your night. [03:13.73]We weren't lovers like that [03:16.28]and besides it would still be all right, [03:24.21]We weren't lovers like that [03:27.13]and besides it would still be all right.
