Lyrics

What I once thought was everlasting All of a sudden been and gone It is finished, it is finished but mercy's moving us along What can you carry for your brother When you can't stand up on your own? It's hard to keep up, it's hard to keep up This part you have to do alone Each time you make a resolution (I get no sense Who knows what lies in your intent? Of what you meant to say There goes the story, there goes the story By way of a defence.) Here comes the circular descent If I say "Good night and god bless" I might yet confess I'm hoping to see That when daylight breaks I will face a fait accompli When the time comes I hope I'll say This is the moment I must stay My hand in mercy I don't intend to let you go I never meant to leave you lonely This is the moment I must show My hand in mercy What I perceived as everlasting (I might be wrong… Now I just see as overlong You still belong among those Beyond endurance, beyond endurance Hungry to press on.) Beyond this point you can't carry on But I believe what someone told me: When we are pushed right to the edge Right to the limit, when it is finished It is the mercy So I say "Good night and god bless, sleep tight" Counting sheep and closing my eyes I will drift away from the livelong day Up the wooden hill slowly climb So I say "Good night and god bless, sleep tight" I must go outside and I might be some time
