"Mercy" lyrics

"Mercy"
(originally by Tender Mercies)

I got a feeling of unrighteousness
Bitter cold and hollow bitterness
Down the road
I walk with loneliness
Mercy will follow me, I'm told

My sister sang a song so sweet and sad
About a man whose love I never had
There's a train bound for Gillian
And mercy will follow me, I'm told

Mercy, will you follow me?
Mercy, will you follow me?
'Til my final breath at last I take
Mercy, will you follow me?
Mercy, will you follow me?
'Til the chains of this old world I finally break

Under this skin
There lies a heart of stone
That's growing old so very far from home
But a heart of gold I may one day own
And mercy will follow me, I'm told

Mercy, will you follow me?
Mercy, will you follow me?
'Til my final breath at last I take
Mercy, will you follow me?
Mercy, will you follow me?
'Til the chains of this old world I finally break
