John Berto - Sweet Hand Of Mercy lyrics

Deep in the night, I can hear you breathing Long slow pulls, the sleeper sleeping The moon shines down on your gleaming skin Love to love you baby, won't you let love in? It's just the sweet hand of mercy Got one eye open and a lonely whistle The other eye's closed but my fingers listen Hit a nerve, gonna do some drillin' Close your eyes now, this won't hurt a bit It's just the sweet hand of mercy Took a drink – man, he's eatin' the worm Rage is still playing – don't know which way to turn Spirit is weak and the flesh is willing Mind's playing tricks, the effect is thrilling Study the meaning, every last detail A sensory trap, got the dog by the tail The closer we get, the harder we fall Don't care anymore, think I heard the call It's just the sweet hand of mercy
