Lyrics:Sarah Mclachlan Music:Sarah Mclachlan Mercy - pure and simple Longing - cold and hollow With sweet breath you'd come to warm me But I held on too hard to only a memory You lie there on the swollen ground Deserted in your heart Still longing for what yesterdays lost And for all that tomorrow might bring The passion lost - taken, stolen The dreams we had and we shared - shattered, broken With kind words you'd come to soothe me But I go blind and filled with fear Would send you away from me There is no hope in regretting now All the pain that we could not see We both knew what we wanted And we took it believing it free And we took it believing it free.
