Mercy came calling today,
God knows i needed to see her
Courage left me out in the lane,
Beat up and running without her
She told me sit down, you made a mess of things
She was right
She said, you got to slow down
Don't need ta stay out all night
Mercy
Mercy reached out,
Put her arms around me
Kissed me and seemed at home
I said don't leave me, looked in her eyes
She knows who i am an' knows what i done
Mercy came calling today and
I think it's the only way
I can sleep easy, or even sleep at all
Mercy came singing tonight,
She called me out to dance
Her sweet grace brought me delight,
It's so much more than romance
She took me right to it,
I didn't think i could do it
That old dragon's gone, mercy slew it
Oh mercy put her arms around me,
Kissed me, she seemed at home
I said don't leave me, i looked in her eyes,
She knows who i am an' she knows what i done
She forgives but she doesn't deceive me
Oh mercy don't leave me
The radio here by my bed doesn't ring anymore in my head
Mercy!
Mercy came calling today
God knows i needed to see her
She came calling today
God knows i needed to see her
Calling today, oh calling today
Mercy came calling today
