《Mercy Bound》歌词

[00:00:00] Mercy Bound - Edwin McCain

[00:00:12] Late last night I awoke in a dream

[00:00:14] To the sound of a voice that was almost

[00:00:17] A scream oh oh oh

[00:00:23] From out of the city and out of the street

[00:00:26] Out where the wind hits the cold concrete oh oh oh

[00:00:36] It's cold outside darkness your enemy

[00:00:47] No place to hide the voice said this to me

[00:01:00] In your doorways I have shivered

[00:01:03] In your alleys I have gone to ground

[00:01:12] I will be delivered

[00:01:15] Someday I will be mercy bound

[00:01:29] I dreamed again it was West LA

[00:01:32] On a crowded street on a hot summer day

[00:01:37] She was alone

[00:01:41] Three months late and beginning to show

[00:01:43] In a midriff blouse she would soon outgrow

[00:01:46] She had no one to call and no way home

[00:01:53] And in my mind I knew I'd seen myself

[00:02:04] But in our blindness always seems like someone else

[00:02:17] There I was a rag a bone

[00:02:20] A remnant in your lost and found

[00:02:29] I was for once truly alone

[00:02:32] Longing to be mercy bound

[00:02:40] And I knew that I would wander as a child

[00:02:44] In the forest 'til they found me

[00:02:52] And I called out to them but I could not penetrate

[00:02:56] The silence all around me

[00:03:10] And when I wake I know you'll comfort me

[00:03:21] And I won't sleep again for an eternity

[00:03:35] But others lie awake at night

[00:03:38] In desperation more profound

[00:03:46] And the coming of the morning light

[00:03:49] Will not see them mercy bound

[00:03:57] And some will never dream again

[00:04:03] From sleeping on the ground

[00:04:09] Just longing to belong

[00:04:12] Dying to be mercy bound

[00:04:20] Please don't stop your dreaming

[00:04:23] Someday we'll all be mercy bound

[00:04:35] Someday mercy bound
