about

There’s a girl I know
Don’t see her anymore
She seemed to disappear
Some say, way up north
There’s a I boy I knew
Don’t know him anymore
We share the same last name
And eyes of blue
They must living on Mercy Street
There’s no light in their life
As the sun falls
So does the time bomb in my heart
I hope you help me son
When I get too old
And they send me to Mercy Street
There's no light in my life
All my dead friends say
It’s not so bad, not so gray
Just be glad you’re alive
I want to know what all good men know
The light of the universe
Is locked in my soul
I want to know, I want to know
There's no light in my life
All my dead friends say
It’s not so bad, not so gray
Just be glad you’re alive
On Mercy Street
