Shys (The) - Mercy lyrics

rate me

I was born by the river On the shore the mud was black Said how could anybody get that far off the track? And you never saw your fathers face until you looked him in the eye And you never knew that river running was the tears that you’d cry My heart was stolen by the culture, all the people wearing rags All along I somehow knew I really had it bad So take my money take my clothes I just want to go back home Now that I’ve got everything I never felt so alone Never felt so alone Tell me do you feel alone? Oh Lord have mercy on me Won’t you have some mercy on me? Oh Lord have mercy on me Won’t you have some mercy? You were ruler of a country Put the country on the map You’d curse a clever sinner Hear the wind the whip it cracks And it’s not in the hymns I used to sing cause now the meaning seems all wrong Is there soul in the words you speak or were you lying along? Were they lying along? Does it keep you hanging on? Does it keep me hanging on? Oh Lord have mercy on me Wont you have some mercy on me? Oh please have mercy on me Won’t you have some mercy on me (Thanks to kip for these lyrics)
