Lord Have Mercy - Joanne Shaw Taylor

Dare if you dare

Bring me back from senseless

This time i’m down

And with no defenses

I’ve tried bitter

Bare and broken

I’ve said the words

I’ve tried leaving them unspoken

I’m going down so slow

Please lord have mercy

It’s hope that deserts me

I’m turning circles

No breaking for the bends

For all my efforts

Still my road don’t mend

I’ve gave my heart

I got swept away

But to the same old sunset

Just on a different day

Now l’m going down so slow

Please lord have mercy

It’s hope that deserts me

Too much walking

My soul wore thin

Too much talking

I can hardly breath in

I’ve took all i can take

I have bent until i have breaked

The list goes longer

And it resolves to seal my fate

I’m going down so slow

Please lord have mercy

It’s hope that deserts me
