Counting Crows - Mercy lyrics

(Kurt Stevenson, Patrick Winningham, & Chris Boesel)

Originally recorded for the Georgia soundtrack

I got a feeling

of unrighteousness

bitter cold

hollow bitterness

down the road

I walk with loneliness

mercy will follow me I'm told

Beneath this skin

there lies a heart of stone

It's growing old

so very far, from home

but a heart of gold

I may someday own?

and mercy will follow me, I'm told

mercy will you follow me

mercy will you follow me

to the final breath at last I take

mercy will you follow me

mercy will you follow me

Till the chain of this old world I finally break.

My sister sang

songs so sweet and sad

bout a man

whos love I never had

there's a train

bound for gillian?

mercy will follow me I'm told

mercy will you follow me

mercy will you follow me

till my final breath at last I take

mercy will you follow me

mercy will you follow me

Till the chains of this old world I finally break

Till the chains of this old world I finally break

Till the chains of this old world I finally break
