Текст песни: Leonard Cohen. Sisters of Mercy.

O the sisters of mercy they are not

Departed or gone,

They were waiting for me when I thought

That I just cant go on,

And they brought me their comfort

And later they brought me this song.

O I hope you run into them

You whove been traveling 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, Ive been where youre hanging

I think I can see how youre pinned.

When youre not feeling holy,

Your loneliness says that youve 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.

Dont turn on the light

You can read their address by the moon;

And you wont make me jealous

If I hear that they sweeten your night

We werent lovers like that

And besides it would still be all right

We werent lovers like that

And besides it would still be all right.
