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
