sister of mercy
She lives in a big white house
The rooms are lemon and shes devoted to life
of keeping this house just right, ooh, ooh
The weekends are perfectly nice ooh, ooh
And she doesnt talk when he comes home at night
Twenty five years shes just the same
Shes a lonely woman, quiet in her ways
Then he comes home one night
She kills him with a knife
Now shes the one whos a living in paradise
(chorus)
(Sister of mercy) No sister of mercy
Oh dont cry for me
(sister of mercy) No sister of mercy
Its all alright for me
Now she sits in a big white chair
In a room thats 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 dont know the way its been
You dont 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)
