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)
