Dark Mercy
DARK MERCY
I want to remember
The evening light
How it turns blue
Before the night claims it
I want to remember
This faint trace of salt
Still vlei water
And the cobalt that stains it
And the breathing of earth
You standing close to me
And the night reaching out to us
Dark mercy … dark mercy
I want to remember
These reflections in indigo
Last light
The slow land that frames it
I want to remember
The hadedah’s wild cry
The touch of your hand
Endless and forever sky
And the breathing of earth
You standing close to me
And the night reaching out to us
Dark mercy … dark mercy
Dark mercy
Dark mercy
Dark mercy
Dark mercy
Dark mercy
Dark mercy
Dark mercy
I want to remember
The evening light
How it turns blue
Before night claims it
