aoife o’donovan – town of mercy lyrics

i walked away from mercy
out to the deepest woods
entered by the river
at the only place i could
fed a fire and watched the smoke
like something climbing free
leaning like a ladder
and calling after me

that i could rise from what may shine
keep your place, surrender mine
as if your name as old as time
waited like a song upon the tongue
of all the mercy begging to be sung

i’ve made my peace with mercy
as quick as it may be
to betray my confidence
is how i choose to see
that what had come together
now are pieces in my hand
fraying at the knees
that buckled long before we stand

so i might rise from what may shine
keep your place, surrender mine
as if your name as old as time
waited like a song upon the tongue
of all the mercy begging to be sung
begging to be sung
the snow flies its confetti
like the end of a parade
leaves a vacant silence
knee+deep in the charade
that here’s the end of hunger
this feasting of the soul
when all the while it’s waited
for the light to swallow whole

so i might rise from what may shine
keep your place, surrender mine
as if your name as old as time
waited like a song upon the tongue
of all the mercy begging to be sung
