Lyrics
Strange Mercy
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Oh little one
I know you've been tired
For a long, long time
And oh little one
I ain't been around for a little while
But when you see me, wave
Oh little one
Your Hemingway jawline looks just like his
Our father in exile
For god only knows how many years
But when you see him, wave
Through double pane
I'll be with you lost boys
Sneaking out where the shivers won't find you
Oh little one
I'd tell you good news
That i don't believe
If it would help you sleep
Strange mercy
If i ever meet the dirty policeman who roughed you up
No i don't know what
If i ever meet the dirty policeman who roughed you up
I'll be with you lost boys
Sneaking out where the shivers won't find you
