The Ballroom Thieves
For Mercy
Darling don't go
Don't leave me out here on my own
I'm in the space between the spaces and it ain't what I was made for
You'd think by now I should know
As if it made me more a man if I could stand the wasted gamble of our day
They say placed to hunt - just like places to hide -
Are getting harder to keep and still harder to find
So don't leave me
I'm roaring for mercy
Or is it lenience?
Board and bury the moments we won't be the hosts for
Carve our names in to stone
And then leave me belief in the faith I won't find on the road
Now if I said I'd be the one to hold you in my arms
And that I'd never see the day that you would leave me behind
I'd be lying
Maybe we made this a brook too broad for leaping
Oh, maybe I made myself too difficult to believe in
But love has her way
Love has her terrible way
