Pour mercy mercy on me
Set fire to history
I'm breaking my own rules
I'm crying like a fool
Tall stories on the page
Short glories on the faint
I've been close enough to touch
But I never cared for love
It's the church of burnt romances
And I'm too far gone to pray
It's a solo song
And it's only for the brave
If the truth tell
Darling you feel
Like there ain't enough dying stars in your sky
It's a tall tale
And it's only hello hello no goodbye
Pour mercy mercy on me
I'll fall upon my knees
And they'll say I told you so
Come on when you know you know
Oh the lonely shadow dances
From the cradle to the grave
It's a solo song
And it's only for the brave
