mercy

mercy, i beg for mercy
your love is too much
your kiss too sweet,
it sweeps me off my feet
i give in to defeat
when i am in your arms
mercy,
let me run, while i have life

you might find me
hidden in the dark
at the back of your thoughts
shine not your light on me
your love is too sweet
it loosens my teeth
weakens my grips
on the resolve i have lost
let me run, while i have life

mercy, i plead,
your smile melts me
warms me and pervades me
thaws my heart
sings to my dry bones
easing off the tons
of doubt and worry
oh! your love is too sweet
mercy,
sister so sweet
