All the sisters of [E]
mercy, they [B] are [F#] not departed or [B] gone.
[E] [B]
[D#m] They were waiting for [A#m] me [D#] when I thought that I [A#m] just [F#] can't go on.
And [E] they brought me [B] their comfort [C#m] and later [G#m] they brought [F#] me this song.
Oh, [B] I hope [E] you run into them, [B]
you [F#] who've been traveling [B] so long.
[E]
[B]
[F#]
Yes, [B] you who [E] must leave [B] everything [F#] that you cannot [B] control.
[E]
[B] It [D#m] begins with [A#m] your family, but [D#m] soon it [A#m] comes round to [F#] your soul.
Well, I've been where [B] you're hanging, [A] I think [G#m] I can see [F#] how you're pinning.
When [B] you're not [E] feeling holy, [B] your loneliness [F#] says [B] that you've sinned.
[E]
[B]
[F#]
Well, they [B]
lay down [E] beside me, [B] I made [F#] my confession [B] to them.
[E]
[B]
[D#m] They touched both [A#m] my eyes, [D#m] I touched the [A#m] dew [F#] on their hand.
If your [E] life is [B] a leaf that [A] the seasons [G#m] tear off [F#] and condemn,
they [B] will bind [E] you with love [B] that is graceful [F#] and green as a stem.
[E]
[A] [B]
[F#]
[B] Now, they were [E] sleeping, [B] I hope you [F#] run into [B] them soon.
[E]
[B] [D#m]
Don't turn on [A#m] the lights, you [D#] can read their [A#m] address [F#] by the moon.
And you [E] won't make [B] me jealous if [A] I hear that [G#m] they sweeten [F#] your night.
[G#]
[F#] We [B] were lovers like [E] that and [B] besides, it [F#] would still be [B] alright.
[E] [F#]
We were [B] lovers like [E] that and [B] besides, it [F#] would still be [B] alright.
