Heaven Have Mercy
No more smiles, no more tearsNo more prayers, no more fearsNothing left, why go onWhen your lover is goneShout with oneRing the bellsThroughout the townsAnd the farmsWill the shouts and the bellsBring him back to my armsMust each man go to warEvermore, evermoreWhile some lone woman standsEmpty heart, empty handsWhen the time came to partAnd he kissed me goodbyeFrom the depths of my heartCame a great lonely cry:
Heaven have mercy!Heaven have mercy!
Miners cameThey carved his nameUpon a cross...I remember the danceWhere we first fell in loveHow we whirled 'round and 'roundWhile the stars danced aboveWe would walk by the shoreWatch the ships sail awayLovers need nothing moreJust a new dream each daySo we dreamed of a homeWith a garden so fineAnd a son with his eyesAnd a nose just like mineNow it's done, why be brave?Why should I live like this?Shall I wait by the graveFor my lost lover's kiss?
Stop the bell! Stop the bell!I've no tears left to cryMust I stay here in hell?Lord above, let me die...
Heaven have mercy!Heaven have mercy!Heaven have mercy!
