Mercy

Sarah McLachlan · Closer The Best Of Sarah McLachlan [2008]

Mercy - pure and simple

Longing - cold and hollow



With sweet breath, you'd come come to warn me

But I held on too hard, to only a memory

You lie there on the swollen ground

Deserted in your heart

Still longing for what yesterday's lost

And for all that tommorrow might bring

And for all that tommorrow might bring



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

There'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
