[Verse]
G#m9
The old gates are always locked
C#7
By the daughter of the keys
G#m9
Sad eyes are fixed on the world
C#7
From the balcony
B C#/A#
While the six o'clock procession
C#7/G# D#sus4
Take their prayer books to the hall
G#m C#
It's sad to see them shed a tear
B G#m7
Inside the convent walls
G#m9
Red mountains around them
C#7
Keep out those who'd come
G#m9
But only birds and wild deer
C#7
Share the lives of nuns
B C#/A#
For ladies who in kindness
C#7/G# D#sus4
Burn the knowledge they have found
G#m C#
Their knowledge lies inside a hole
B G#m
Buried in the ground
[Chorus]
G#m7 C#9
For the Sisters of the Cross
G#m7 C#9
Seek the shadows that they have lost
F# B
In the walls where their lives
F# B
Are protected by God
G#7 C#9
But the feeling of love
G#7 C#9
Is somehwere in your bones
B
Your body is wasted
D#sus4
When it should have been owned
G#m9
The Mother of the mission bells
C#7
Has lived here all her life
G#m9
She never felt the hands of man
C#7
Touch her in the night
B C#/A#
And the canopies that cover her
C#7/G# D#sus4
So cold and so afraid
G#m C#
Thinking holy mothers die
B C#
Like spinsters in the grave
G#m9
To be single in the chapel
C#7
Praying knelt down on your knees
G#m9
Where the corridors are echoing
C#7
Their proud solemnity
B C#/A#
And the candle light against the glass
C#7/G# D#sus4
Plays shadow chasing tricks
G#m C#
As the young girls fall, their eyes in tears
B G#m
Beside the crucifix
