A D E A D A

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
