Mercy-Tender Mercies

I got a feeling of unrighteousness Bitter cold, hollow bitterness Down the road, I walk with loneliness Mercy will follow me I'm told My sister sang songs so sweet and sad About a man whose love I never had There is a train bound for Gillian And 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 Under this skin there lies a heart of stone It's growing old, so very far from home But a heart of gold I may one day own And 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
