The river runs slow in that bright moonlight

The wind in your hair where the water meets the night

Old man on the bank sangin’ softly

the current dont always wait for me or you

Breeze off the water brangs the smell of salt

Tells me tomorrow’s just another stretch of time

Under the rivers mercy…

Everythang exists quietly, then it slips away

Under the rivers mercy…

The night keeps its secret, but it never breaks

Under the rivers mercy…

Headlights drift along the dark shore

Old truck rolls past like it’s been here before

Songs from the past drift across the open air

Faces long gone, still lingerin’ there

Dont need directions when the water takes you there

thangs ahead are a waitin ready or not

Under the rivers mercy…

Everythang exists quietly, then it slips away

Under the rivers mercy…

The night keeps its secret, but it never breaks

Under the rivers mercy…

If the mornin finds me farther down the line

im still gonna keep these rivers on my mind

all the corners, sights and sounds in time

Another piece of story I get to keep for my own

Under the rivers mercy…

Everythang exists quietly, then it slips away

Under the rivers mercy…

The night keeps its secret, but it never breaks

Under the rivers mercy…

Yeah the night keeps its secret… but it never breaks

Under the rivers mercy…

(whispered)

Mercy…
