Mercury (Live At Chelsea Studios, New York/1997)

[Verse 1] She is trapped inside a month of gray And they take a little every day She is a victim of her own responses Shackled to a heart that wants to settle And then runs away [Refrain] It's a sin to be fading endlessly Yeah, but she's alright with me [Verse 2] Oh, she is leaving on a walkaway She is leaving me in disarray Yeah, in the absence of a place to be She stands there looking back at me Hesitates, and then turns away [Refrain] She'll change so suddenly, she's just like mercury Yeah, but she's alright with me [Verse 3] Save some sorrow in your hearts and minds For the things that die before their time For the restlessly abandoned homes The tired and weary rambler's bones And stay beside me where I lie [Refrain] 'Cause she's entwined in me, crazy as can be Yeah, but she's alright with me [Outro] She's alright She's alright with me She's alright with me She's alright with me Yeah, she's alright with me
