Qualities Of Mercy - Penelope Houston

Saw a leaf fall and I wanted to catch it

but I'm lying face down on a Daily Californian

Hair spread out in a halo of gold

Humming a tune it's the song of the charlatan

Hear the glass break and the trickle of whiskey

Take me along I'm the life of the party

Day after day I hear my promises fade

Giving lip service to the mercy of my friends

And all the boys they tell me how they're going to love me

And all my girlfriends they say

you're so lucky

But what I'm really needing in this golden country

can you explain to me the qualities of mercy

Old man sleeping with a beer in his hand

Worked so hard but he's got no one to bury him

Built alot of fences in his fence building days

Never built a bridge but he's crossing over anyway

Baby take a stick draw a circle around me

One to protect me from the times I want to fly away

Don't need a bridge 'cause I'm already sailing

sailing on the ferry cross the mercy of my friends

And all the boys they tell me how they're going to love me

And all my girlfriends they say you're so lucky

But what I'm really needing in this golden country

can you explain to me the qualities of mercy

It's good enough it's good enough to know

the falling tears make a cradle in the snow

It's good enough it's good enough to hold

that summer's long as the winters day's cold

Saw a leaf fall and I wanted to catch it

but I'm lying face down on a Daily Californian

Hair spread out in a halo of gold

Giving lip service to the mercy of my friends

And all the boys they tell me how they're going to love me

And all my girlfriends they say you're so lucky

But what I'm really needing in this golden country

can you explain to me the qualities of mercy
