Db Gb
Oh the sisters of mercy
Db Ab Db Gb Db
They are not departed or gone
Fm Cm
They were waiting for me
Fm Cm Ab Ab4 Ab
When I thought that I just can't go on
Gb Db
And they brought me their comfort
B Bbm Ab Ab4 Ab
And later they brought me this song
Db Gb
Oh I hope you run into them
Db Ab Db Gb Db Ab
You who've been travelling so long
Db Gb Db
Yes you who must leave everything
Ab Db Gb Db
That you cannot control
Fm Cm
It begins with your family
Fm Cm Ab Ab4 Ab
But soon it comes around to your soul
Gb Db
Well I've been where you're hanging
B Bbm Ab Ab4 Ab
I think I can see how you're pinned
Db Gb
When you're not feeling holy
Db Ab Db Gb Db Ab
Your loneliness says that you've sinned
Db Gb
Well they lay down beside me
Db Ab Db Gb Db
I made my confession to them
Fm Cm
They touched both my eyes
Fm Cm Ab Ab4 Ab
And I touched the dew on their hem
Gb Db
If your life is a leaf
B Bbm Ab Ab4 Ab
That the seasons tear off and condemn
Db Gb
They will bind you with love
Db Ab Db Gb Db Ab
That is graceful and green as a stem
Db Gb
When I left they were sleeping
Db Ab Db Gb Db
I hope you run into them soon
Fm Cm
Don't turn on the lights
Fm Cm Ab Ab4 Ab
You can read their address by the moon
Gb Db
And you won't make me jealous
B Bbm Ab Ab4 Ab
If I find that they sweetened your night
Db Gb
We weren't lovers like that
Db Gb Db Gb Db
And besides it would still be all right
Db Gb
We weren't lovers like that
Db Gb Db Gb Db
And besides it would still be all right
