Letra de Mercy Brown
Jaundiced yellow light is flashing Hanging above Church and Main On the wind, the perfume lingers Likewise, her Christian nameFields of night hang close above her The family lie in a dreamless sleep Frost grows on the windowpanes And the wind spins circles in the empty streetShining white steeples Rise from the ground Ring all the bells you may And brace for the kiss of Mercy BrownBy the paper mill, she wanders Singing melodies to the clouds A fox calls, but none does answer Cross the green of hallowed groundQuietly, beyond the threshold A pale hand on the banister Looks upon the sleepers there And weeps at the memory of the way things wereShining white steeples Alarm the town Ring all the bells you can And brace for the kiss of Mercy BrownTwo lovers in the moonlights Playing at hare and hounds Leaves fall upon the hillside Ruddy as the lips of young Miss BrownShining white steeples Alarm the town Ring all the bells you can And brace for the kiss of Mercy BrownShining white steeples Dawn in the dark Be still your beating Your beating heartBe still your beating heart
