Mercy Bound - Edwin McCain[00:00:00]
Late last night I awoke in a dream[00:00:12]
To the sound of a voice that was almost[00:00:14]
A scream oh oh oh[00:00:17]
From out of the city and out of the street[00:00:23]
Out where the wind hits the cold concrete oh oh oh[00:00:26]
It's cold outside darkness your enemy[00:00:36]
No place to hide the voice said this to me[00:00:47]
In your doorways I have shivered[00:01:00]
In your alleys I have gone to ground[00:01:03]
I will be delivered[00:01:12]
Someday I will be mercy bound[00:01:15]
I dreamed again it was West LA[00:01:29]
On a crowded street on a hot summer day[00:01:32]
She was alone[00:01:37]
Three months late and beginning to show[00:01:41]
In a midriff blouse she would soon outgrow[00:01:43]
She had no one to call and no way home[00:01:46]
And in my mind I knew I'd seen myself[00:01:53]
But in our blindness always seems like someone else[00:02:04]
There I was a rag a bone[00:02:17]
A remnant in your lost and found[00:02:20]
I was for once truly alone[00:02:29]
Longing to be mercy bound[00:02:32]
And I knew that I would wander as a child[00:02:40]
In the forest 'til they found me[00:02:44]
And I called out to them but I could not penetrate[00:02:52]
The silence all around me[00:02:56]
And when I wake I know you'll comfort me[00:03:10]
And I won't sleep again for an eternity[00:03:21]
But others lie awake at night[00:03:35]
In desperation more profound[00:03:38]
And the coming of the morning light[00:03:46]
Will not see them mercy bound[00:03:49]
And some will never dream again[00:03:57]
From sleeping on the ground[00:04:03]
Just longing to belong[00:04:09]
Dying to be mercy bound[00:04:12]
Please don't stop your dreaming[00:04:20]
Someday we'll all be mercy bound[00:04:23]
Someday mercy bound[00:04:35]
