Sister of Mercy

Oh sister of mercy

My heart is still bleeding

My tears they do flow

And I do still pine.

My dreams are forbidden

My love has no meaning

I so love this man

But can't make him mine.

Oh please take away

This burden I carry

Was away

This pain I can't bear.

There is no chance

We ever will marry

I am down by the river

And I wait for you there.

Oh sister of mercy

My life's not worth living

All that I wanted

Was stolen away.

Will I find no joy

Within my existence

Will I be unhappy

For the rest of my days.

Oh please take away

This load I must carry

Wash away

This hurt I can't bear

There no chance 

We ever will wed

I lay on the floor

Under the bed!
