Bu şehrin ışıkları bir yanar bir de söner
Gece sisi gündüz dumanı tüter
Bir kalbim var hiç ona benzemez
Yanar sönmeyen ateş ama tütemez
Bilir misin bu şehirde sana aşık biri var biri var
Gözünde yaş ve kalbinde inceden bir sızı var sızı var
Sana adanmış hayatı umurunda olmasada
Bu şehirde sana aşık sana tapan biri var
Bu şehrin sokakları bir dolar bir boşalır
Gece riya gündüz yalanı yaşanır
Bir kalbim var hiç ona benzemez
Doldu boşalmaz içi yalan diyemez
Bilir misin bu şehirde sana aşık biri var biri var
Gözünde yaş ve kalbinde inceden bir sızı var sızı var
Sana adanmış hayatı umurunda olmasada
Bu şehirde sana aşık sana tapan biri var
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 travelling so long.
Yes you who must leave everything that you cannot control.
It begins with your family, but soon it comes around 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,
We weren't lovers like that and besides it would still be all right
