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