Mercy lyrics

Sarah McLachlan See albums and popular songs

Mercy - pure and simple
Longing - cold and hollow
With sweet breath youd come to warm 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 yesterdays lost
And for all that tomorrow might bring

The passion lost - taken, stolen
The dreams we had and we shared - shattered, broken
With kind words youd come to soothe me
But I go blind and filled with fear
Would send you away from me

There is no hope in regretting now
All the pain that we could not see

We both knew what we wanted
A
nd we took it believing it free
And we took it believing it free

Video

Will we Burn in Heaven? Good question Sarah McLachlan...: This is a Music Video I did for Sarah McLachlan's "Witness" off her Surfacing CD. I never paid too much attention to the song at first which is weird, cuz now it is one of my favorites - Both vocally, musically, and lyrically. All her songs on Surfacing a (video from YouTube)
