[Verse 1]
Jaundiced yellow light is flashing
Hanging above Church and Main
On the wind, her perfume lingers
Likewise, her Christian name
Fields of night hang close above her
The family lie in a dreamless sleep
Frost grows on the windowpanes
And the wind spins circles in the empty street
[Chorus]
Shining white steeples
Rise from the ground
Ring all the bells you may
And brace for the kiss of Mercy Brown
[Verse 2]
By the paper mill, she wanders
Singing melodies to the clouds
A fox calls, but nonе does answer
Cross the green of hallowеd ground
Quietly beyond the threshold
A pale hand on the banister
Looks upon the sleepers there
And weeps at the memory of the way things were
Jaundiced yellow light is flashing
Hanging above Church and Main
On the wind, her perfume lingers
Likewise, her Christian name
Fields of night hang close above her
The family lie in a dreamless sleep
Frost grows on the windowpanes
And the wind spins circles in the empty street
[Chorus]
Shining white steeples
Rise from the ground
Ring all the bells you may
And brace for the kiss of Mercy Brown
[Verse 2]
By the paper mill, she wanders
Singing melodies to the clouds
A fox calls, but nonе does answer
Cross the green of hallowеd ground
Quietly beyond the threshold
A pale hand on the banister
Looks upon the sleepers there
And weeps at the memory of the way things were
