Mercy On My Soul Again

I'm looking out my window
All I see is my shadow
Lying dead on the sidewalk
The crows circling above
And there on the rooftop watching
Is the mourning dove

Oh lord have mercy
Have mercy on my soul
Oh lord have mercy
Have mercy on my soul again

All the towels in my bathroom
Are already soaking wet
The colors orange purple and green stain them
So I won't ever forget
A clown was she that once lived with me
Before she ran off to Paris

Oh lord have mercy
Have mercy on my soul
Oh lord have mercy
Have mercy on my soul again

Time and time again
The mirror shows me a mess
The man I see becomes less and less
Books piled high behind his eyes
That don't mean a thing
For what good is Camus
If I'm still a stranger to you
If I'm still a stranger to you

Oh lord have mercy
Have mercy on my soul
Oh lord have mercy
Have mercy on my soul again

But I've thought it all out
This is the devil and my final bout
I'm the master chess player
With a checkered past
And I think I'm free at last
Yeah I think I'm free at last

Oh lord have mercy
Have mercy on my soul
Oh lord have mercy
Have mercy on my soul again
