Standard (EADGBE)

Oh Sis-ters of Mer-cy they are not de-par-ted or gone

They were wait-ing for me when I thought that I just cant go on

And they brought me their com-fort and later they brought me their song

Oh I hope you into them you who've been trav-ling so long

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

We werent lov-ers like that

And besides it would still be all right

We werent lovers like that

And besides it would still be all right
