Heaven Have Mercy Songtext
No more smiles, no more tears
No more prayers, no more fears
Nothing left, why go on
When your lover is gone

When the time came to part
And he kissed me goodbye
From the depths of my heart
Came a great lonely cry:
Heaven have mercy!
Heaven have mercy!

Miners came
They carved his name
Upon a cross...
Shout with one, ring the bells
Throughout the towns
And the farms
Will the shouts and the bells
Bring him back to my arms

Must each man go to war
Evermore, evermore
While some lone woman stands
Empty heart, empty hands

I remember the dance
Where we first fell in love
How we whirled 'round and 'round
While the stars danced above

Now it's done, why be brave?
Why should I live like this?
Shall I wait by the grave
For my lost lover's kiss?

Stop the bells! Stop the bells!!
I've no tears left to cry
Must I stay here in hell?
Lord above, let me die...

Heaven have mercy!
Heaven have mercy!
Heaven have mercy!
