Oh

the

sis-

ters

of

mer-

cy,

they

are

not

de-

par-

ted

or

gone

They

were

wai-

tin'

for

me

when

I

thought

that

I

just

can't

go

on

And

they

brought

me

their

com-

fort

and

la-

ter

they

brought

me

this

song

Oh

I

hope

you

run

in-

to

them,

you

who've

been

tra-

velling

so

long

Yes

you

who

must

leave

e-

very-

thing

that

you

can-

not

cont-

rol

It

be-

gins

with

your

fa-

mily,

but

soon

it

comes

round

to

your

soul

Well

I've

been

where

you're

han-

ging,

I

think

I

can

see

how

you're

pinned

When

you're

not

fee-

ling

ho-

ly,

your

lone-

li-

ness

says

that

you've

sinned

Well

they

lay

down

be-

side

me,

I

made

my

con-

fes-

sion

to

them

They

touched

both

my

eyes

and

I

touched

the

dew

on

their

hem

If

your

life

is

a

leaf

that

the

sea-

sons

tear

off

and

con-

demn

They

will

bind

you

with

love

that

is

grace-

ful

and

green

as

a

stem

When

I

left

they

were

slee-

ping,

I

hope

you

run

in-

to

them

soon

Don't

turn

on

the

lights,

you

can

read

their

add-

ress

by

the

moon

And

you

won't

make

me

jea-

lous

if

I

hear

that

they

swee-

tened

your

night

We

weren't

lo-

vers

like

that

and

be-

sides

it

would

still

be

all

right

We

weren't

lo-

vers

like

that

and

be-

sides

it

would

still

be

all

right
