Black Sky Mercy

"Black Sky Mercy Come take me away," let the night claim my name

Take my soul, 'cause my hope burned out in the flame

"Black sky Mercy," Take my hand, it still trembles when the bottle's gone dry

Hold it tight when I'm drunk, 'cause it reaches for the sky

"Black Sky Mercy," Shelter me when I walk through the storm

My storms make thunder, but never bring rain

" ohooo Black Sky Mercy"

I've been carrying this grave

When I say I gave her my best, "Black Sky Mercy I'm still breaking the same,"

" Black Sky Mercy,"I failed that test, now the moon sings low

"Blaaaack Sky Mercy," come take me away before this lonely road lets go

" black sky Mercy,"Hold me close, 'cause this old train don't wait for no one

it's calling my name like a prayer gone numb

Bandage me, 'cause I can't bear this pain

" Black Sky Mercy," Walk with me, 'cause I stumble hard and I might fall again

" Black Sky Merrrcy,"Don't look me in the eyes, you won't see me cry

Don't ask me why, I don't have an answer left inside

" Black Sky Mercy "

I'm sitting here, with this pen, drawing lines of pain,

Pouring brown liquor, drowning out the chain,

This sour mash bottle, " Black sky Mercy," it's all that I got,

Chasing memories of us, twisted in a shot glass

"Black Sky Mercy," Beneath the stars, I scream her name,

Sitting here writing, wishing she could see,

The soul of this bottle, ain't just whiskey to me,

" Black Sky Mercy," I chase it with smoke.to escape the truth's fight,

"Black Sky Mercy," This love letter's fading out here in the night.

Love letters sealed in whiskey and regret,

Tossed over the Martin Luther king Junior bridge.where dreams and the Maumee river meet,"Black Sky Mercy,"

Hopes float downstream searching for my heart,

In this muddy water.where we fell apart. " Black Sky Mercy,"

Each ripple a whisper, calling her name,

" Black Sky Mercy," Sitting here writing, wishing you could see,

The soul of this bottle.ain't just whiskey to me,

" Black Sky Mercy," I chase it with smoke to escape the truth's fight,

This love letter's fading out here in the night. " Black Sky Mercy," here's to the bottle that never lets me down, to a love that's lost,

" Black Sky Mercy," A toast to the night, an the dreams that it cost.

" Black Sky Mercy," I've been carrying this grave

When I say I've given her my best," BLACK SKY MERCY," I'm still breaking the same

" OHhOooooo black sky Mercy,"I failed that test, " Black Sky Mercy,now the moon sings low

" black sky Mercy," ohooo come take me away before this lonely road lets go, " Black sky Mercy," Come take me away, let the dark be kind," leave the light behind." black Sky Mercy," come take me away Before this lonely road let's go,"Black Sky Mercy,"let the dark be kind," Black Sky Merccccy," let the night claim my naaaame, " Black Sky Mercy take me away," hold me tight an kiss away my ghost I'm drowning," Black sky Mercy " I can't swim ,I'm drowning in shadows in ink , " Black Sky Mercy come take me away before this lonely road let's go,"
