Rickie Lee Jones - Running from Mercy lyrics

Running From Mercy
Oh sacred patience with my soul abide
There's a rainbow above me that
The storm clouds hide
And kind words will never die
Cuz 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
Abide 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
Abide within, no cross, no crown
This thing was not born with wings

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 tomorrow
