Lyrics:
Oh the sisters of mercy
They are not departed or gone
They were waiting for me
When I thought that I just can't go on
And they brought me their comfort
And later they brought me this song
Oh I hope you run into them
You who've 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, 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
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 lovers like that
And besides it would still be all right

My wife died. He helped my grief. So much.

How sad to see 30 thumbs downers on a masterpiece of soulfull beauty

[@lewminati139]

But they're hugely outnumbered by the thumbs uppers at about 30:1 so it's not so bad after all. It's hard to understand why anyone would dislike this. Probably Bieber fans. 😊

[@DecanusLaeathlobha]

Actually, 42 as of right now. Thing is, there are other reasons for a thumbs down than disliking the song. 1) To say that it lacks energy is an understatement. 2) I don't like his guitar. 3) Lose the hat. 4) etc, etc. It is a great song, in every way, it's just not the greatest performance. Deserving of a Nobel? Sure, as good or better than anything of Dylan's. Point is, a thumb down doesn't have to mean the person disliked it. I particularly like his work from that time as he was one of the first to supply me with material for more serious guitar accompaniment. I quit pounding chords and started picking notes. Thank you Len.

I have the great chance to hear Léonoard Cohen at its beginnings in Montpelleir university ( France) in 1970) ans after I've always listen ti this marvellous songwriter an poet... and his death was a tragedy for me

[@seanmazhindu9793]

Although Leonard wasn't directly referring to the actual Sisters of Mercy, this song kinda describes them. They are good women committed to God they help the unfortunate ones orphans homeless etc.

[@szem02]

A song Leonard wrote in Edmonton Alberta in 1966 at the Alberta Hotel. The two ladies still live in Edmonton and remain anonymous to this day.

[@jamieminsky9436]

If ur not feeling holy: u feeling u sinned… I believe means: we no sinners. But when we know better/we feel very deeply when we fall. We r all of God: the universe. It’s alright. It is still alright. Just try to improve ur knowing.and try to do better.
