What I once thought was everlasting
All of a sudden been and gone
It is finished, it is finished but mercy's moving us along
What can you carry for your brother
When you can't stand up on your own?
It's hard to keep up, it's hard to keep up
This part you have to do alone
Each time you make a resolution
(I get no sense
Who knows what lies in your intent?
Of what you meant to say
There goes the story, there goes the story
By way of a defence.)
Here comes the circular descent
If I say "Good night and god bless"
I might yet confess I'm hoping to see
That when daylight breaks
I will face a fait accompli
When the time comes I hope I'll say
This is the moment I must stay
My hand in mercy
I don't intend to let you go
I never meant to leave you lonely
This is the moment I must show
My hand in mercy
All of a sudden been and gone
It is finished, it is finished but mercy's moving us along
What can you carry for your brother
When you can't stand up on your own?
It's hard to keep up, it's hard to keep up
This part you have to do alone
Each time you make a resolution
(I get no sense
Who knows what lies in your intent?
Of what you meant to say
There goes the story, there goes the story
By way of a defence.)
Here comes the circular descent
If I say "Good night and god bless"
I might yet confess I'm hoping to see
That when daylight breaks
I will face a fait accompli
When the time comes I hope I'll say
This is the moment I must stay
My hand in mercy
I don't intend to let you go
I never meant to leave you lonely
This is the moment I must show
My hand in mercy
