Tender Mercy
|
By Dave Sharp
I guess you know this is a wonderful life You got to be so glad to be livin' All along the golden delta skyways Underneath the southern moon. Out of New England towards Santa Fe West now, my pretty milkin' maid Fresh horses just for to carry you You're gonna make in a day or two. Sunrise in this Garden of Eden Got to keep walkin' on 'til the sun goes down Some days you get six feet under And some days you hit higher ground.
Chorus:
But if you run like hell When there's a storm rollin' in Well, you had sure better have a prayer, Lord And some Tender Mercy within.
As you ride on up Gilgarraugh mountainside Walkin' down Strawberry Avenue There is a weight of old Spanish iron You'd better keep out a watch tonight. At the borderline of this restless wandering Remember well for to seek out the light Go anyplace now, walk in peace It's gonna be alright . . .
[Chorus:]
M8:
Well, if you reach out You're heave it in you're gonna move it on You're gonna share it out But if you hold on there will always be something So strong within . . .
As this twilight turns to slumber now As these city streets make do for shelter now This land a pillow, come rest your weary head Look out, look in . . .
[Chorus]
