Thompson Twins Sister of Mercy [Single Version] Lyrics

She lives in a big white house
All the rooms are lemon and she's devoted to life
Heeping this house just right
Weekends 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

But 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's 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, oh
Sister of mercy (Sister of mercy)
Sister of mercy oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
(REPEAT CHORUS x 2)
