Tender Mewrcy
I guess you know this is a wonderful life
you got to be so glad to be livin’
all along the golden delta skyway
underneath the souther moon
out of new england towards Santa Fe
west now my pretty milkin’ maid
fresh horses for to carry you
you’re gonna make it 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:]
AND IF YOU RUN LIKE HELL
WHEN THERE’S A STORM ROLLIN’ IN
WELL YOU HAD SURE BETTER HAVE A PRAYER, LORD,
AND SOME TNEDER 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]
Middle Eight:
Well, if you reach out
you’re gonna 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]
