Mercy

[Verse 1] Mercy—pure and simple Longing—cold and hollow With sweet breath you'd come to warn me But I held on too hard to only a memory [Chorus] You lie there on the swollen ground Deserted in your heart Still longing for what yesterday's lost And for all that tomorrow might bring And for all that tomorrow might bring [Verse 2] The passion lost—taken, stolen The dreams we had and we shared—shattered and broken With kind words you'd come to soothe me But I so blind (And filled with fear) Would send you away from me [Chorus] There's no hope in regretting now All the pain that we could not see We both knew what we wanted now And we took it believing it free And we took it believing it free
