From the recording Rising Tide
Lyrics
Mercy On My Soul
I want mercy on my soul
I won’t forsake what I know
I wear no pity on my brow
I am broken but unbowed
(Chorus)
Oh Lord I fear the worst
Were you misleading my love?
My word my only curse
For it’s bleeding my love
If she’s the fallen bride renewed
I am the Fisher King overboard
If she’s the mother in chains
blessed and beautified
I’d be dressed like the Lord
Have mercy on my soul
I have forsaken all I know
I have faith in all I am
I am but a grain of sand
Oh Lord I fear the worst
Were you misleading my love?
My word my only curse
For it’s bleeding my love
