Mark Heard - Mercy Of The Flame (Demo) lyrics

You can't recall me on my own And you are amused But this knot is not a noose I love her I'd do it all again Don't pity me I know what I'm doing I don't even feel the pain Love ignites And I have been so long At the mercy of the flame She's a fever in my bones I'll never get well You can laugh and you can tell I'm hopeless I'll take that chance Don't pity me I know what I'm doing I don't even feel the pain Love ignites And I have been so long At the mercy of the flame At the mercy of a fever I'm wax in the sun Oh-she's more than a flame And I'll gladly be burned I'll gladly be burned Have my senses taken leave I doubt if you know You just see me growing old But I feel it I feel the same as always Don't pity me I know what I'm doing I don't even feel the pain Love ignites And I have been so long At the mercy of the flame
