Mercy With The Wine Songtext / Lyric

I am blood and I am whisky

Mix some mercy with the wine

Not forgotten nor forgiven

Down these corridors of time

I was grief and I was horror

When your madness I embraced

Now I'm walking free to the water

A witness to your faith

I am witness

I need a witness

Mix mercy with the wine

You lay it down beside me

So close I almost taste

Sweet sufferance reminds me

Of this distance and this space

I listen for your footsteps

I listen for your psalms

Not so far behind me

Enfold me in your arms






I need a witness

Get me a witness

Mix mercy with the wine

I need a witness

Get me a witness

Mix mercy with the wine

Love's dreams are not forgotten

They could happen any time

If they make poets out of devils

I'll make an angel out of mine



You played me like a guitar

Played me like a deal

As I say so it is written

I'm the wound that will not heal.

I am wings in your darkness.

I am family, I am wronged

Like a stranger in your garden

Where he knows he don't belong.

Get me a witness

Man I need a witness

Mix mercy with the wine.
