|
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) |
