Dar Williams - Mercy Of The Fallen Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • oh my fair north star
  • i have held to you dearly
  • i had asked you to steer me
  • till one cloud scattered night
  • i got lost
  • and in my travels
  • i met Leo the lion
  • met a king and met a giant
  • with their errant light
  • there's the wind and the rain
  • and the mercy of the fallen
  • who syay they have no claim to know what's right
  • there's the weak and the strong
  • and the beds that have no answer
  • and that's where i may rest my head tonight
  • i saw all the bright people
  • in imposing flocks they langed
  • and they got what they demanded
  • and they scratched at the ground
  • then they flew and the field
  • grew as sweetly for the flightless
  • who had longing yet despite this
  • they could hear every sound
  • there's the wind and the rain
  • and the mercy of the fallen
  • who syay they have no claim to know what's right
  • there's the weak and the strong
  • and the beds that have no answer
  • and that's where i may rest my head tonight
  • if your sister or your brother
  • were stumbling on their last mile
  • in a self-inflicted exile
  • you'd hope they'd meet a humble friend
  • and i hope someday
  • that the best of Falstaff's planners
  • give me seven half-built manors
  • where half-dreams may dream without end
  • there's the wind and the rain
  • and the mercy of the fallen
  • who say they have no claim to know what's right
  • there's the weak and the strong
  • and the many stars to guide us
  • we have some of them inside us
