Mercy

Mercy, pure and simple

Longing, cold and hollow

With sweet breath you'd come to warm me

But I held on too hard to only a memoryYou lie there on the swollen ground

Deserted in your heart

Still longing for what yesterdays lost

And for all that tomorrow might bring

And for all that tomorrow might bringThe passion lost, taken, stolen

The dreams we had and we shared, shattered, broken

With kind words you'd come to soothe me

But I go blind and filled with fear

Would send you away from meThere's no hope in regretting now

All the pain that we could not see

We both knew what we wanted

And we took it believing it free

And we took it believing it free
