The very first time he found Mercy
The summer trees shook from the breeze
The afternoon rays shone like gold in her hair
And left him weak in the knees
He knew he was meant to follow
No matter where the path led
And the room was splashed by the soft city lights
As they lay together in bed
And he found Mercy, but Mercy would never stay
She comes in the night like a blanket of light
But she always leaves the same way
Oh Mercy
And the next time he saw Mercy
Her eyes drew him into her mind
They walked across fields for hours
And their fingers touched gentle and kind
He knew this could be forever
As she touched her hands to his hair
He closed his eyes and counted to ten
When he looked she was no longer there
And he found Mercy, but Mercy would never stay
She comes in the night like a blanket of light
But she always leaves the same way
Oh Mercy, oh Mercy, oh Mercy
Now he searches the shadows since they've been apart
He's lost alone with a memory and touch of a ghost
Crossing his heart
And if you ever find Mercy
Please don't try to hold on
The harder you try to keep her
The sooner the moment she's gone
But still we long for those moments
And search for them everywhere
Like the last rays of the sunset
Glowin' in a lost lover's hair
And he lost Mercy, for he knew she never could stay
She comes in the night like a blanket of light
But she always leaves the same way
Oh Mercy, oh Mercy, oh Mercy, Mercy
