Mercy Train

My hands are shaking loose
They are shaking all around me now
Breaking time and taking rhyme
Not holding anything
But I've been holding you inside
And I'll be holding down the corners
But this longing's coming stronger
Than it ever did before

Chorus
Give to me a prayer
Like a bird that can fly
Out of this world
High
Out of this world
A blue refrain
A mercy train
That I can ride
For a little while

Where's the light for me today
When you come to me in gray?
But the gospel in your eyes
Still shines a truth
That I do love
You can't leave me anymore
'Cause my heart has locked that door
It's a room where not much changes
Anyway
(Chorus)

Was I drunk
And was I blind
I must've been when
I was trying to find
A precious little diamond
In that deep dark mine
And call it mine

You and I have become a ghost
We panicked at the border
Our hearts are bound forever
Because they cannot bear to lose
And when the wind blows arms
To hold me
On cruel nights that strip away
All the clothes designed
To save me
Oh, it's you
I know it's you
