Mercy Is Songtext
von Patti Smith

Mercy is as mercy does
Wandering the wild
The stars arise watching you
A breath upon a cloud

Two white doves
Two white wings
To carry you away
To a land in memory
A land in memory


The sky is high
The earth is green
And cool below your feet
So swiftly now beneath the bow
Your father waits for thee
To wrap you in his healing hands
As the night sky weeps

Two white doves
Two white wings
To carry you away
For mercy is the healing wind
That whispers as you sleep
That whispers you to sleep
