Sister Of Mercy
|
She lives in a big white house
|
The rooms are lemon and she's devoted to life
|
of keeping this house just right, ooh, ooh
|
The weekends are perfectly nice ooh, ooh
|
And she doesn't talk when he comes home at night
|
Twenty five years she's just the same
|
She's a lonely woman, quiet in her ways
|
Then he comes home one night
|
She kills him with a knife
|
Now she's the one who's a living in paradise
|
(chorus)
|
(Sister of mercy) No sister of mercy
|
Oh don't cry for me
|
(sister of mercy) No sister of mercy
|
It's all alright for me
|
|
Now she sits in a big white chair
|
In a room that's not so different to the one back there
|
She turns her face to the light
|
But she is blinded by her life
|
You can hear her cry alone at night
|
|
(REPEAT CHORUS)
|
|
So have mercy on that woman you don't know the way it's been
|
You don't know the trouble her eyes have seen
|
Can you feel the kiss of life when you come home at night?
|
Well, you better not turn your back on a paradise
|
|
(REPEAT CHORUS)
|
|
Sister of mercy (Sister of mercy)
|
Sister of mercy oh, oh
|
Sister of mercy (Sister of mercy)
|
Sister of mercy oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
|
|
(REPEAT CHORUS x 2)
