mercy

(Anastasio)

I am water
Dancing in the light
Shimmering by the sweeping shore
Moving in darkness with the setting sun

In the afterglow
Of divine mind
A resonating tone
Beneath the waves
Calls me in my dreams

And I am ripped in two
The breathing wind speaks slowly
Mercy
Mercy
Mercy

Hearts bend
Folded red
Please don’t go
Rise in fire and slip away

I am singing now
Over the fear
And remembering how
The changes come on the way down

And I am ripped in two
The breathing wind speaks slowly
Mercy
Mercy
Mercy

And I am ripped in two
The breathing wind speaks slowly
Mercy
Mercy
Mercy

I am water
Dancing in the light
Shimmering by the sweeping shore
Moving in darkness with the setting sun
