Levellers - 61 Minutes Of Pleading lyrics

As the blood flowed Lorraine knew That there'd be nobody coming Nobody's coming As the blood flowed Lorraine knew That there'd be nobody coming The call came in Lorraine shot down Her husband pulled the trigger And then he blew his brains out At the other end The police took a call They didn't believe That he was dead at all So they wouldn't help her And she knew It had been 20 years Since they fell in love He's brought a lot of pain But now he's brought a lot of blood And he's taken more Than his share We can't lose a life The police chief said There's an armed man in there Who'd be better off dead As Lorraine bled from the legs And as the blood flowed Lorraine knew That there'd be nobody coming Nobody's coming As the blood flowed Lorraine knew That there'd be nobody coming Speak to me now But all she could say Was, I don't want to die like this So they said they're on their way But they never heard That she was Lorraine So they didn't let her die With even her name As she left us all in pain And as the blood flowed Lorraine knew That there'd be nobody coming Nobody's coming As the blood flowed Lorraine knew That there'd be nobody coming
