Phish – Mercy (Lyrics)

Written By: Trey Anastasio

Lyrics (Start at 0:15):

I am water dancing in the light
Shimmering by the sweeping shore
Moving in darkness with the setting sun
In the afterglow of divine mind
A resonating tone beneath the waves
Calls me in my dreams

And I am ripped in two
The breathing wind speaks slowly
Mercy, mercy
Mercy

Hearts break, folded red
Please don’t go
Rise in fire and slip away

I am singing now, over the fear
And remembering how
The changes come on the way down

And I am ripped in two
The breathing wind speaks slowly
Mercy, mercy
Mercy

And I am ripped in two
The breathing wind speaks slowly
Mercy, mercy
Mercy

I am water dancing in the light
Shimmering by the sweeping shore
Moving in darkness with the setting sun
