The Sisters Of Mercy - A Rock And A Hard Place lyrics

And she came to look for me
Sold my name and innocence
Took my key
And told me to follow her down
From Igor with her bangles and her reference
One from the church from the valley
Of the well
She wanted a haven and a place to hide
So I gave her an alibi
Took her inside, but

A rock and a hard place await for me
Between the Devil and the deep blue sea
Everything I ever did right or wrong
Hid out of sight where I belong, belong

And I didn't have the heart
To tell her why
And there wasn't a part of me
That didn't want to say goodbye, but

'Cause and effect go hand in hand
With the Devil may care
But I don't mind
And I thought she'd never quite understand
So I left her there that night
But will she find me?
I don't think so, no
When you go, you go alone
And I'm gone
Far away [4x]

And I didn't have the heart
To tell why
And there wasn't a part of me
That didn't want to say goodbye, but

A rock and a hard place await for me
Between the Devil and the deep blue sea
Everything I ever did right or wrong
Hid out of sight where I belong
[3x]
