Mercy is my one lifeline (Mercy is a friend of mine)

 

Mercy is as pure as snow

Washes out the pain despair and woe

Lets a river of her loving kindness flow

Sometimes I think she doesn’t know

That I would never let her go

 

Oh, Mercy is a friend of mine

Who loves the colors of the snow

Who laughs and loves and sings alone

Who I can only wish to comfort

I can’t even tell her that I care

 

Mercy is it time to go

Far away from this sad place

Into the snow, the cold solace

Of numbness in the white

The many colors of the snow

 

But there at your front door I turn back

For a single candle, one last thing

Single warming flame of hope

Before the world turns away

Maybe I can someday say

 

Mercy is a friend of mine

Who wears the colors of the snow

Who will likely never ever know

This stubborn burning candle mine

But who I can call a friend

In the end
