Have Mercy - Sweet Spirit, Britt Daniel

Lonesome is the whip-poor-will

Never seen one but I feel

Time is like a Ritalin pill

Goes too fast and makes you ill

Have mercy on me

Have mercy on me

Love is like the mockingbird

Singing all the things he’s heard

Sweet into his lover’s ear

This time for sure, promise you, dear

Shameful is the cardinal

His colors make him fallible

While we made through the window side

He’s captured the coyote’s eye
