Joan Baez - Mercy Bound Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Late last night I awoke in a dream
  • To the sound of a voice that was almost a scream
  • Oh oh oh
  • From out of the city and out of the street
  • Out where the wind hits the cold concrete
  • Oh oh oh
  • It's cold outside
  • Darkness your enemy
  • No place to hide
  • The voice said this to me
  • In your doorways I have shivered
  • In your alleys I have gone to ground
  • But I will be delivered
  • Someday I will be mercy bound
  • I dreamed again it was west L.A.
  • On a crowded street on a hot summer day
  • She was alone
  • Three months late and beginning to show
  • In a midriff blouse she would soon outgrow
  • She had no one to call
  • And no way home
  • And in my mind
  • I knew I'd seen myself
  • But in our blindness
  • It always seems like someone else
  • There I was a rag a bone
  • A remnant in your lost and found
  • I was for once truly alone
  • Longing to be mercy bound
  • And I knew that I would wander as child in the forest
  • Till they found me
  • And I called out to them but I could not penetrate the silence
  • All around me
  • And when I wake I know you'll comfort me
  • And I won't sleep again for an eternity
  • But others lie awake at night
  • In desperation more profound
  • And the coming of the morning light
  • Will not see them mercy bound
  • And some will never dream again
  • From sleeping on the ground
  • Just longing to belong
  • And dying to be mercy bound
  • Oh please don't stop your dreaming
  • Someday we'll all be mercy bound
