Lyrics
MERCY DIAMOND
Wake up my diamond
Stay inside, it’s getting cold
Well I started drinking to fix my poor old soul
Tomorrow I’ll be different
But it ain’t no difference
Can’t escape this world in a self-respecting way
Please have mercy on my soul
Oh, please won’t you?
Have mercy on my soul
My way would have straightened me
But you would not wait on me
My heart turns into a stone as the skies are turning blue
Covered with scars from sleeping in cars
Wake up my diamond
It’s getting cold outside
Please have mercy on my soul
Oh, please won’t you?
Have mercy on my soul
Wake up my diamond
Stay inside, it’s getting cold
Well I started drinking to fix my poor old soul
Tomorrow I’ll be different
But it ain’t no difference
Can’t escape this world in a self-respecting way
