Olav Rixen - Mercy Lyrics

A velvet night had fallen
Had settled within my heart
The moon hung low among the trees
A captive lantern in the summer breeze

Along the broken ramparts
Of our little town we walked
And talked about the tides of time
I felt your warm, dry hand slip into mine

We left the ring road we'd taken
To cut across the square
That lay forelorn and forsaken
Was I aware

Dreaming of mercy in your arms
Dreaming of mercy (mercy me)
Dreaming of falling for your charms
Dreaming of tenderness
And if our lips met in a kiss
Dreaming of mercy (mercy me)
Would I fall into the abyss
Would I be caught in your loving arms

Your eyes were all emotion
As deep as the ocean wide
And there I'd drift without a chart
And feel a gentle rain fall in my heart

And I would lose my bearings
Whenever you looked at me
And far beyond that wild, wild sea
My home and native land was calling me

And all the years turned to hours
And hours turned to stone
I was bereft of all powers
I was alone

Dreaming of mercy in your arms
Dreaming of mercy (mercy me)
Dreaming of falling for your charms
Dreaming of tenderness
And if our lips met in a kiss
Dreaming of mercy (mercy me)
Would I fall into the abyss
Would I be caught in your loving arms
