Black Lab

Mercy

I can see you laughing after you're gone and I'm alone.
laughing at the things you lost happy to have paid the cost.
and I can see you waiting after years of separation.
waiting on a platform for a train I won't be on.
and the future is now.
in the eyes of my mind I want to be there somehow .
can't bear to leave you behind at the mercy of time.
I can see you're pregnant sucking on a tall boy and a cigarette .
oh I want to be there run my hands through your blonde hair.
and I can see you lonely standing at the side of a freeway trying to catch a break.
a ride that takes you all the way.
and the future is now.
in the eyes of my mind I want to be there somehow.
can't bear to leave you behind at the mercy of time.
