The Saw Doctors - Mercy Gates Lyrics

The Saw Doctors Lyrics

"Mercy Gates"

You might see me in the paper
Or hear me on the radio
And you'll probably imagine
That I've forgotten you long long ago
Well, I couldn't if I tried
Though you might think I tell a lie
I'll hold you in my memory from now
Until the day I die

Bomber jackets and young girls smile
Valentines and county trials
Meeting at the mercy gates
All afternoon I couldn't wait
My thoughts were just of kissing you

Now I might be mistaken
But I think we met somewhere before
Was I drunk and stoned and dancing
On some salt hill disco's slippy floor
With you nose on someone's shoulder
Slow dancing tightly intertwined
I wish we swapped our partners
And continued dancing
Till he end of time

Bomber jackets and young girls smile
Valentines and county trials
Meeting at the mercy gates
All afternoon I couldn't wait
Duffel coats and desert boots
The teacher spoke of Brian Boru
My thoughts were just of kissing you
My thoughts were just of kissing you
