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