Lyrics Rickie Lee Jones

Rickie Lee Jones

Running From Mercy

Oh sacred place that sets my soul alive

There's a rainbow above me that the storm clouds hide

And kind works will never die

'cause the magic in kindness springs from the love, love, love

Little acts of kindness and little words of love

Make our earthly home heaven above

And there is no sorrow heaven cannot heal

A fire within, no cross, no crown

Running from mercy, hidden and coy

Swimming upstream down oceans of joy

Die in the arms of a natural life

Waking our happiness drowning in light

Waking our happiness drowning in light

Little acts of kindness, little words of love

Make our earthly home like heaven above

And there is no sorrow heaven cannot heal

A fire within, no cross, no crown

This thing would end up on the wind

Slow to stop our ways sing

You, you wake up!, come on boy, come on little boy

Don't you stop her, don't you stop her

There's that door

I've got that door

I know where that door is

Just follow me and you wake up

Come on with me girl

Tomorrow
