about

"All changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy. For what we leave behind us is part of ourselves. We must die to one life before we enter another." Anatoly France

lyrics

MERCY

One day it makes a difference
One day behind the sun
Gather up your sticks and prayers
Its time to move along.

Breaks my heart to walk away
But I’ve nothing here to lose
Important as it use to seem
I’ts really of no use.

It takes a sharp sharp knife
To cut you from your past
It takes a handful of mercy
To keep you on that path.

I’m wiping down the chalk board
And I’m dusting off my hands
Turning towards the east
Where the sun will rise again.

I’ll dig myself a shallow grave
As plain as it could be
And on the headstone I will carve
Here lies what use to be.

It takes a sharp sharp knife
To cut you from your past
It takes a handful of mercy
To keep you on that path.
