61 Minutes Of Pleading Lyrics

As the blood flowed, Lorraine knew

There'd be nobody coming, nobody's coming

As the blood flowed, Lorraine knew

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 twenty 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



As the blood flowed, Lorraine knew

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



[Incomprehensible] heard

That she was Lorraine

So they didn't let her die with even her name

As she left us all in pain



As the blood flowed, Lorraine knew

There'd be nobody coming, nobody's coming

As the blood flowed, Lorraine knew

That there'd be nobody coming
