Rachel Ries - Mercy lyrics

Thank you for the pictures you sent The clouds were marveling I don't know what you meant by them But I will give you anything When the prairie freezes over I'll be gone again To the east where there's no gra**land To dance with the wind To the east where the asphalt Shivers under the wind There are prayers that I utter in waking And don't even know the words When the prairie freezes over You'll be breaking down Your best intention Strewn on the shoulder Hitch a lift back to town My remorse is useless - and I know But here it is again You stay sober And I'll come over with a bottle of gin You stay sober and I'll come over With a bottle of gin God have mercy and let us be married And never drink again God as my witness and you as my kin I'll never drink again
