Oh Sis-ters of Mer-cy they are not de-par-ted or gone
C#m G#m C#m G#m E Esus4 E
They were wait-ing for me when I thought that I just cant go on
D A G F#m E Esus4 E
And they brought me their com-fort and later they brought me their song
A D E A D
Oh I hope you into them you who've been trav-ling so long
G/D D/A A7 D G/D D/A A7 D A E

Yes you who must leave everything
That you cannot control
It begins with your family,
but soon it comes round 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 your've sinned
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 yoou with love
That is graceful and green as a stem
When I left they were sleeping
I hope you run into them soon
Dont turn on the lights
You can read their address by the moon
And you wont make me jealous
If I hear that they sweetened your night
D E
A D
We werent lov-ers like that
A E A
And besides it would still be all right
We werent lovers like that
And besides it would still be all right
C#m G#m Esus4 F#m G/D D/A A7
