Sisters of Mercy Paroles

And later they brought me this song
Oh I hope you run into them
You who've been traveling so long.

Yes, you who must leave everything
That you cannot control
It begins with your family
But soon it comes around to your soul

Well I've been where you're hanging
I think I can see how you're pinned
When you're not feeling holy
Your loneliness says that you've sinned.

Well 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 When I left they were sleeping
I hope you run into them soon
Don't turn on the lights
You can read their address by the moon

And you won't make me jealous
If I hear that they sweetened your night
We 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
