Running From Mercy Lyrics - Rickie Lee Jones

Oh sacred patience with my soul abide 

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

And kind words 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 

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 

Slow to stop our ways sing 

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 

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 

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 

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

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
