	mercy, they are not departed or gone. , 

           D#m             Bm           D#m                Bm               F#     F#sus4        F#  
They were waiting for me when I thought that I just can't go on. ,      

          E                  B             A            G#m                 F#       F#sus4        F#  
And they brought me their comfort and later they brought me this song. ,      

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