Sister of Mercy lyrics

She lives in a big white house
And all the rooms are lemon and she's devoted to life
Keeping his house just right
The weekends are perfectly nice
She doesn't talk when he comes home at night, no

Oh sister of mercy, oh don't cry for me
No sister of mercy, it's all alright for me

For 25 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 the knife
She's the one who's a-living in paradise

No sister of mercy, oh don't cry for me
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
She's blinded by her life
You can hear her cry alone at night

No sister of mercy, oh don't cry for me
No sister of mercy, it's all alright for me

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'd better not turn your back on a paradise, woh

No sister of mercy, oh don't cry for me
No sister of mercy, it's all alright for me
Sister of mercy, sister of mercy, oh
Sister of mercy, sister of mercy, oh
No sister of mercy, oh don't cry for me
No sister of mercy, it's all alright for me
