lyrics

Mercy by Ezra Vancil


All alone
I think I’ll unplug the telephone
and sit here waiting on the shelf
another day has passed me by in another way
that’s okay
because
I’m too tired to complain
Had a dream
I heard you say
that you never cared for me at all
my heart, did I fall
oh mercy
say it wasn't true
mercy
say it wasn't you

and all the love
you always gave me when i
has disappeared into that shadow
of my brain
and all the times
you were there for me
in my heart I feel the loneliness began
Had a dream
I heard you say
that you never cared for me at all
my heart, did I fall
oh mercy
say it wasn't true
mercy
say it wasn't you

I’m not pretty, I’m not smart
I found my self with an aching heart now
on the ground, on the spot
I found my self with an aching heart now
I’m not pretty, I’m not smart
I found my self with an aching heart now
on the ground, on the spot
I found my self with an aching heart
can’t you hear me calling?

oh mercy
stay with me tonight
mercy
stay with me
tonight
