Mercury Lyrics
[Verse 1]
She is trapped inside a month of gray
And they take a little every day
She is a victim of her own responses
Shackled to a heart that wants to settle
And then runs away
[Interlude]
It's a sin to be fading endlessly
Yeah, but she's alright with me
[Verse 2]
She is leaving on a walkaway
She is leaving me in disarray
In the absence of a place to be
She stands there looking back at me
Hesitates, and then turns away
[Bridge]
She'll change so suddenly
She's just like mercury
Yeah, but she's alright with me
[Verse 3]
Keep some sorrow in your hearts and minds
For the things that die before their time
For the restlessly abandoned homes
The tired and weary rambler's bones
And stay beside me where I lie
She is trapped inside a month of gray
And they take a little every day
She is a victim of her own responses
Shackled to a heart that wants to settle
And then runs away
[Interlude]
It's a sin to be fading endlessly
Yeah, but she's alright with me
[Verse 2]
She is leaving on a walkaway
She is leaving me in disarray
In the absence of a place to be
She stands there looking back at me
Hesitates, and then turns away
[Bridge]
She'll change so suddenly
She's just like mercury
Yeah, but she's alright with me
[Verse 3]
Keep some sorrow in your hearts and minds
For the things that die before their time
For the restlessly abandoned homes
The tired and weary rambler's bones
And stay beside me where I lie
She's entwined in me, crazy as can be
Yeah, but she's alright with me
She's alright
She's alright with me
She's alright with me
Mmm, she's alright with me
She's alright with me
Yeah, but she's alright with me
She's alright
She's alright with me
She's alright with me
Mmm, she's alright with me
She's alright with me
