Mercy for the Gentle Kind

from Mercy for the Gentle Kind by Cameron Blake

lyrics

You came to me in a violet dream
It’s the way you stand and the way you speak
You whisper the word “fragility”
You blush beneath the starlit sky

The sliver of moon shone in your eyes
As we drove to the coast far away from our lives
Tannins in the wine and loose-leaf tea
There are no filters, no mysteries

Wasn’t looking for you, didn’t know what I missed
Kept my eyes on the road until I found it
A sweet little bird singing out in the mist
“Mercy for the gentle kind”

A sliver of light shone in your eyes
Broke away from a pain in the corners of your mind
Tannins in the wine and loose-leaf tea
There are no secrets when you’re free to be free

The sun descends behind the rim of the world
A decrescendo
There’s never been a feeling that hasn’t been felt before

A sliver of hope shone in your eyes
I saw it for a second and that second froze time
Tannins in the wine and loose-leaf tea
Oh, this place is erased when you’re looking at me

The sun descends behind the rim of the world
A decrescendo
There’s never been a feeling that hasn’t been felt before

The sun will rise behind the rim of the world
A great crescendo
There’s never been a feeling that hasn’t been felt before
