Her soft caress lifts the morning sun
Forget the world forget life's lonely beating heart
Sweet dreams arise and then they fall away
The time is now and I hold my head up high
White lies and other small mercies, ain't nothing going to stop this hurting
White lies and other small mercies, ain't nothing going to stop this hurting
Now
I take my love and I hold it against the sun
The time's been spent but there's so much left undone
The time is now, the wise man's words arise
I take my gun and hold it to the sun
White lies and other small mercies, ain't nothing going to stop this hurting
White lies and other small mercies, ain't nothing going to stop this hurting
Now
I take my gun and hold it against the sun
I take my gun and I hold it against the sun
I take my gun and hold it against the sun
I take my gun and I hold it against the sun
