The Gaslight Anthem - Have Mercy lyrics

rate me

(Verse)

Come pick me up from the night

From the hands of the dark

From the things I didn't know

That would simply break your heart

There were years in this room

Lined and shattered in the glass

Held it up to myself till I just couldn't stand

(Chorus)

So don't ask me where I've been cause you don't want to know

And don't ask me who I'm seeing, no, you don't want to know

And don't come around me here when I need you the most

Leave it alone, leave a little room for the holy ghost

(Verse 2)

And come take me out of the light

I don't feel you anymore

I came apart from myself

And from the crosses you wore

And the things in my soul

Once my comforting friend

I came to the reasons

And I lost you again

(Chorus)

So don't ask me where I've been cause you don't want to know

And don't ask me who I'm seeing, no, you don't want to know

And don't come around me here when I need you the most

Leave it alone, leave a little room for the holy ghost

(Bridge x4)

Now your pretty horses run wild and free

You can go and find a lover, baby, better than me

Talking slow for days with your friends in L.A.

Have mercy
