Train to 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.
Last time that I saw you, you were on the killing floor
Last time that I saw you, all the tears had turned to clay
Still I haven't panicked, come and pull the stitches tight
No room for the panic, come and pull the stitches tight
There is late train to Mercy
But I hope it never comes
There is late train to Mercy
But I hope it never comes
Well it moves like winter, it moves with brute force
Well it moves like winter, leaves an empire in its course
Heard the breakman holler: "Cannot slow it down"
Heard the breakman holler: "Cannot slow it down"
There is late train to Mercy
But I hope it never comes
There is late train to Mercy
But I hope it never comes
Help me poor Melissa, hide the hope behind your door
Help me poor Melissa, put the hope into your trust
Is the whole world big enough, for the bitter and the sweet ?
Is the whole world big enough, for the wicked and the few ?
There is late train to Mercy
But I hope it never comes
There is late train to Mercy
But I hope it never comes
Makes you beg, steal and borrow
So I hope it never comes
There is late train to Mercy
But I hope it never comes
