Thin Lizzy - Sisters of Mercy lyrics

You cried, you cried Oh.. You've been living like a hobo in the hallways Oh way too long You've been sleeping in the doorway Oh what's gone wrong? And you cry like a baby A baby whose mama's gone As you holler from your squalor Into the distance The sisters of mercy will come (Praise) Little sisters of mercy The sisters of mercy will come Little sisters of mercy Father dear father What's gone wrong? Your boy that was proud and was angry, his spirit was overcome He's calling for mercy, Oh, but no one phones. Into the cold black night She stands alone Oh father dear father What have I done? The sisters of mercy they come Hail sisters of mercy The sisters of mercy they come Hail sisters of mercy The sisters of mercy they come Hail sisters of mercy Mama mama This is your boy In this smile that you gave me there is sadness There is no joy I am weary I am lost and overcome If my sadness my anger is swallowed Oh mama mama What went wrong? (Help me!) The sisters of mercy they come Hail sisters of mercy The sisters of mercy they come Hail sisters of mercy The sisters of mercy they come Hail sisters of mercy Yeah..oh.. (Oh)(From Zion to Babylon)(You're weary now, you're hunrgy) (We are frightened now) Praise sisters of mercy The sisters of mercy they come Oh sisters of mercy And the bells that will ring They're calling from Zion to Babylon We are weary we are lost Like children We are angry we are frightened Oh mama oh mama what have I done? The sisters of mercy they come Hail sisters of mercy The sisters of mercy they come Hail sisters of mercy The sisters of mercy they come Hail sisters of mercy Sisters of mercy Sisters of mercy
