Last time that I saw you, you were on the killing floor
|
Last time that I saw you, all the tears had turned to clay
|
|
Still I haven't panicked, come and pull the stitches tight
|
No room for the panic, come and pull the stitches tight
|
|
There is late train to Mercy
|
But I hope it never comes
|
There is late train to Mercy
|
But I hope it never comes
|
|
Well it moves like winter, it moves with brute force
|
Well it moves like winter, leaves an empire in its course
|
|
Heard the breakman holler: "Cannot slow it down"
|
Heard the breakman holler: "Cannot slow it down"
|
|
There is late train to Mercy
|
But I hope it never comes
|
There is late train to Mercy
|
But I hope it never comes
|
|
Help me poor Melissa, hide the hope behind your door
|
Help me poor Melissa, put the hope into your trust
|
|
Is the whole world big enough, for the bitter and the sweet ?
|
Is the whole world big enough, for the wicked and the few ?
|
|
There is late train to Mercy
|
But I hope it never comes
|
There is late train to Mercy
|
But I hope it never comes
|
|
Makes you beg, steal and borrow
|
So I hope it never comes
|
There is late train to Mercy
|
But I hope it never comes
|
