《Qualities of Mercy》歌词

[00:00:00] Qualities Of Mercy - Penelope Houston

[00:00:08] Saw a leaf fall and I wanted to catch it

[00:00:12] But I'm lying face down on a Daily Californian

[00:00:16] Hair spread out in a halo of gold

[00:00:20] Humming a tune it's the song of the charlatan

[00:00:24] Hear the glass break and the trickle of whiskey

[00:00:28] Take me along I'm the life of the party

[00:00:32] Day after day I hear my promises fade

[00:00:36] Giving lip service to the mercy of my friends

[00:00:43] And all the boys they tell me how they're going to love me

[00:00:51] And all my girlfriends they say

[00:00:55] You're so lucky

[00:00:59] But what I'm really needing in this golden country

[00:01:07] Can you explain to me the qualities of mercy

[00:01:21] Old man sleeping with a beer in his hand

[00:01:24] Worked so hard but he's got no one to bury him

[00:01:29] Built alot of fences in his fence building days

[00:01:33] Never built a bridge but he's crossing over anyway

[00:01:36] Baby take a stick draw a circle around me

[00:01:40] One to protect me from the times I want to fly away

[00:01:45] Don't need a bridge 'cause I'm already sailing

[00:01:48] Sailing on the ferry cross the mercy of my friends

[00:01:56] And all the boys they tell me how they're going to love me

[00:02:03] And all my girlfriends they say you're so lucky

[00:02:11] But what I'm really needing in this golden country

[00:02:19] Can you explain to me the qualities of mercy

[00:02:33] It's good enough it's good enough to know

[00:02:40] The falling tears make a cradle in the snow

[00:02:48] It's good enough it's good enough to hold

[00:02:56] That summer's long as the winters day's cold

[00:03:10] Saw a leaf fall and I wanted to catch it

[00:03:13] But I'm lying face down on a Daily Californian

[00:03:18] Hair spread out in a halo of gold

[00:03:21] Giving lip service to the mercy of my friends

[00:03:29] And all the boys they tell me how they're going to love me

[00:03:36] And all my girlfriends they say you're so lucky

[00:03:44] But what I'm really needing in this golden country

[00:03:52] Can you explain to me the qualities of mercy
