lyrics
It’s a curious thing
Always to hold
The house of another
Dearer than your own
To be a stranger described by
Four bare white walls
To be a shadow, be a midwife
Have so little spring from yourself
But if you’d lay me down
On that big bed of yours
Let me creep between the cushions
While your guests talk next door...
‘Cause it’s you and this house that I love
And I pray for the day when with luck
God’s luck
You’ll rise at my side like the dust in the light
Oh mercy
I knew a woman once
It was years ago
She showed me the whole dance
She let me know
It’s a vicious thing is love
Oh mercy
Did she crumble under me?
She said she did
As I mumbled fumbling at her tits
‘Would you cradle, cradle me?’
Oh mercy
But all those sighed encouragements
Could never be enough
If I was not the first
How could I be the last?
To touch her harsher hairs
Feel her wet
Oh mercy
But if I knock a picture down
Spoil its full beauty
To one you’d squint to see
One known just to me
Something broken I might keep
Oh mercy
Oh would you cradle, cradle me?
I am at the walls
I’m a shriek of jealousy
Loosed through your halls
Before I start to tear
At all that I hold dear
Would you give me, give me
You and this house that I want
I want
And I pray for my sake
For your sake
For our sake
That a heart can be stilled
And a mind may be quietened
With mercy
Will I ever know such mercy?
Will you ever show mercy?
Always to hold
The house of another
Dearer than your own
To be a stranger described by
Four bare white walls
To be a shadow, be a midwife
Have so little spring from yourself
But if you’d lay me down
On that big bed of yours
Let me creep between the cushions
While your guests talk next door...
‘Cause it’s you and this house that I love
And I pray for the day when with luck
God’s luck
You’ll rise at my side like the dust in the light
Oh mercy
I knew a woman once
It was years ago
She showed me the whole dance
She let me know
It’s a vicious thing is love
Oh mercy
Did she crumble under me?
She said she did
As I mumbled fumbling at her tits
‘Would you cradle, cradle me?’
Oh mercy
But all those sighed encouragements
Could never be enough
If I was not the first
How could I be the last?
To touch her harsher hairs
Feel her wet
Oh mercy
But if I knock a picture down
Spoil its full beauty
To one you’d squint to see
One known just to me
Something broken I might keep
Oh mercy
Oh would you cradle, cradle me?
I am at the walls
I’m a shriek of jealousy
Loosed through your halls
Before I start to tear
At all that I hold dear
Would you give me, give me
You and this house that I want
I want
And I pray for my sake
For your sake
For our sake
That a heart can be stilled
And a mind may be quietened
With mercy
Will I ever know such mercy?
Will you ever show mercy?
