Leonard Cohen - Sisters of Mercy (Live in London)

[00:10.21] Oh the sisters of mercy [00:13.48] they are not departed or gone [00:21.42] They were waiting for me [00:24.24] when I thought that I just can't go on [00:31.51] And they brought me their comfort [00:34.65] and later they brought me this song [00:41.92] Oh I hope you run into them [00:45.30] you who've been travelling so long [01:04.55] Yes you who must leave everything [01:08.77] that you cannot control [01:15.06] it begins with your family [01:18.45] but soon it comes round to your soul [01:25.16] Well, I've been where you're hanging [01:28.09] I think I can see how you're pinned [01:35.15] When you're not feeling holy [01:38.54] your loneliness says that you've sinned [01:57.75] They lay down beside me [02:00.47] I made my confession to them [02:08.39] They touched both my eyes [02:11.01] and I touched the dew on their hem [02:18.60] If your life is a leaf [02:21.53] that the seasons tear off and condemn [02:28.91] They will bind you with love [02:31.41] that is graceful and green as a stem [03:44.80] When I left they were sleeping [03:47.41] I hope you run into them soon [03:55.01] Don't turn on the lights [03:57.40] you can read their address by the moon [04:05.45] And you won't make me jealous [04:07.71] if I hear that they sweetened your night [04:15.65] We weren't lovers like that [04:18.37] and besides it would still be all right [04:26.41] We weren't lovers like that [04:28.56] and besides it would still be all right [04:44.75]
