mercy springs won't you have mercy on me?
i am so frightened by people i see
i know i was wrong all wrong so wrong
but i have been down on my knees for so long
mercy, mercy springs
you don't know the heaven that you bring
mercy springs won't you have mercy on me?
i don't understand what kind of person i could be
i know i'm misguided, immoral and astray
but now that i'm here it's hard to stay away
mercy, mercy springs
you don't know the heaven that you bring
you are the reason for everything
serene is the song that you sing
i'd never dreamed of such a thing
you make the winter feel like spring
mercy springs won't you have mercy on me?
i know that the souls who live here won't agree
but it's what i desire require can't ignore
'cause my head's in the clouds while my heart lies on the floor
mercy, mercy springs
You don't know the heaven that you bring

Short Song Description:
Is it alt rock or folk rock? Something in between
|
Long Song Description:
Mercy Springs is a road off of Interstate 5 that I always see while driving from SF to LA.
I've always liked the name, so I wrote a song around it.
In the song, Mercy Springs refers to heaven or paradise.
