Have Mercy

Come pick me up from the night
from the hands of the dark
from the things I didn't know
that would simply break your heart
there were years in this room
blind and shattered in the glass
held it up to myself
'til I just couldn't stand
so don't ask me where I been
cause you don't wanna know
and don't ask me who I'm seein'
no, you don't wanna know
don't come around me here when I need you the most
leave it alone, leave a little room for the holy ghost.

And come take me out of the light
I don't feel you anymore
I came apart from myself
and from the crosses you wore
and the things in my soul
once my comfort and friend
I came to the reason and I lost you again

So don't ask me where I been
cause you don't wanna know
and don't ask me who I'm seein'
no, you don't wanna know
and don't come around me here when I need you the most
leave it alone... leave a little room for the holy ghost.

Now your pretty horse is runnin' wild and free
You can go and find a lover baby better than me
talkin' snow for days with your friends in L.A.
have mercy.
Have mercy.
