House Of Mercy Lyrics - Undercurrent - Sarah Jarosz

In the middle of the night again 

Still water and the birds don't sing 

Cold gin in the back room humming 

Medicating for the trouble that's coming 

Walls rattle like a deisel freighter 

Blood races like a wave 

This house wasn't meant for strangers 

But you come knocking anyway 

I can hear you knocking on the door 

I won't leave it open for you anymore 

I can hear you knocking on the door 

Knocking on the door of the house of mercy

Don't try to change my mind 

That knock gets louder all the time 

Don't try to wear me down 

You'll never get inside this house 

Underneath that shirt you're wearing 

Strained muscles and a heart of stone 

Leather costume like a wild chameleon 

You make me want to be alone 

I can hear you knocking on the door 

I won't leave it open for you anymore 

I can hear you knocking on the door 

Knocking on the door of the house of mercy 

Don't try to change my mind 

That knock gets louder all the time 

Don't try to wear me down 

you'll never get inside this house
