Oh the [B]sisters of [E]mercy, they [B]are not de[F#]parted or [B]gone. [E] , [H]
They were [D#m]waiting for [Bm]me when I [D#m]thought that I [Bm]just can't go [F#]on. [F#sus4] , [F#]
And they [E]brought me their [B]comfort and [A]later they [G#m]brought me this [F#]song. [F#sus4] , [F#]
Oh I [B]hope you run [E]into them, [B]you who've been [F#]travelling so [B]long. [E] [H] , [F#]
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 you've sinned.
Well 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 you with love that is graceful and green as a stem.
When I left they were sleeping, I hope you run into them soon.
Don't turn on the lights, you can read their address by the moon.
And you won't make me jealous if I hear that they sweetened your night.
We weren't lovers like that and besides it would still be all right,
We weren't [B]lovers like [E]that and be[B]sides it would [F#]still be all [B]right.
