Matthew Good - Mercy Misses You

Demo: Euphony, 1994

Mercy says she ain't going to come around here no more
Says he's gone past the point of no return
I'm mad at her in the heart, I'm afraid of the dark
Hidden in the corner
Over here look at me, I am over here
Mercy says she ain't going to think about it no more
Thinking about it hard enough to make him disappear
Windy thoughts, clouds of rage
When you're feeling stormy on a calm, clear day

If it can't be now
Then how soon is when
Hold on tight everyone
We're going to do it again
Not just a memory
That was the best part of me
So how long to miss me
How long to miss me, yeah

Listen to your footsteps
Think about that history
Remember they found her crying inside the teller of our reality
Mercy says she ain't going come around here no more
Can't say I blame her
Can't say I don't listen through the door

And at night I often think about direction
Right after happiness just before my imperfection
And there are windy thoughts
Clouds of rage, when you're feeling stormy on a calm, clear day
A friend with some advice said forgive and forget
Buried in the past man, and I haven't been back there yet
A friend told another friend to listen to their hearts
And ever since they made that stand they've never been apart

If it can't be now
Then how soon is when
Hold on tight everyone
We're going to do it again
Not just a memory
That was the best part of me
So how long to miss me
How long to miss me

Not just a memory
That was the best part of me
So how long to miss me
How long to miss me, yeah
