Oh I hope you run into them, you who've been travelling 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.

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,
      BB       E MajorE      BB        F#F#       BB
We weren't lovers like that and besides it would still be all right.
