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 comingThe call came in
Lorraine shot down
Her husband pulled the trigger
And then he blew his brains outAt the other end
The police took a call
They didn't believe
That he was dead at allSo they wouldn't help her
And she knewIt had been twenty years
Since they fell in love
He's brought a lot of pain
But now he's brought a lot of bloodAnd 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 legsAs the blood flowed, Lorraine knew
There'd be nobody coming, nobody's coming
As the blood flowed, Lorraine knew
That there'd be nobody comingSpeak 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 painAs 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
