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