Rickie Lee Jones - Running from mercy lyrics

Running From Mercy

Oh sacred patience with my soul abide

There's a rainbow above me that the storm clouds hide

And kind words will never die

Cuz the magic in kindness springs from the love, love, love

Little acts of kindness and little words of love

Make our earthly home heaven above

And there is no sorrow heaven cannot heal

Abide within, no cross, no crown

Running from mercy, hidden and coy

Swimming upstream down oceans of joy

Die in the arms of a natural life

Waking our happiness drowning in light

Waking our happiness drowning in light

Little acts of kindness, little words of love

Make our earthly home like heaven above

And there is no sorrow heaven cannot heal

Abide within, no cross, no crown

This thing was not born with wings

Slow to stop our ways sing (chorus)

You, you wake up!, come on boy, come on little boy

Don't you stop her, don't you stop her

There's that door

I've got that door

I know where that door is

Just follow me and you wake up

Come on with me

Tomorrow
