The Clarks - Mercury lyrics

I carry my share of original sin

I'm writing you a letter from a telephone

Sign it messenger man in the great unknown

And I wanna be like Mercury

With the wind blowin' through my hair

Swim up the river to the cedar trees

Follow the sun and catch a nice cool breeze

Bicycle trail only runs so far

This is a place you can't get by car

And I wanna be like Mercury

With the wind blowin' through my hair

Walk through the woods on a moonlit night

I carry a compass and a small flashlight

Deliver my message in a mason jar

Planting my seeds they're growing star to star

And I wanna be like Mercury

With the wind blowin' through my hair
