Mercy

You got a love that keeps me warm

Slow rollin like a thunderstorm

Low hummin like a summer night

You got a love that treats me right

 

Got lucky runnin into you

Half-grown at only twenty-two

Back when I was the runnin kind

You had a love to ease my mind

 

And the world burns on below

But how sweet the world could be

If every heart could know

The mercy that you show to me

 

You got a love that knows the way

slow fallin like a snowy day

soft glowin like a winter night

You got a love that shines a light

 

How crazy after all these years

You’d still be moving me to tears

So happy just to lie me down 

Beside a love that sticks around

 

And the world burns on below

But how sweet the world could be

If every heart could know

The mercy that you show to me
