For Mercy

Darlin don't go
Don't leave me out here on my own
I'm in the space between the spaces
And it ain't what I was made for
I think by now I should know
As if it made me more a man if I could stand
The wasted gamble of our days

They say places to hunt just like places to hide
But getting harder to keep and still harder to find
So don't leave me

I'm roaring for mercy
Or is it lenience
Or to bury the moments we won't be the host for
Carve our names in the stone

And then leave me
Believe in the faith I won't find on the road
Now if I said I'd be the one
To hold you in my arms
And that I never saw the day
Where you would leave me behind
I'd be lying

And maybe we'd make this a brook too broad for leaping
Or maybe I've made myself too difficult to believe in

And love has her way
Love has her terrible way
