Mercy, mercy me.
We were Long Island ice teas and long talks.
We were free climbers of the free mountains, and we loved dancing with the Pacific.
You were the most beautiful woman, I ever seen.
I remember when you came to me, wrapped your arms around me, whispered.
You can’t run no-more, you and me.
Just dreamers and foolish.
Mercy, mercy me. You made me, so crazy.
Please kiss me once, please kiss me a million times.
We were summer lovers, Fall times friends.
We savored the seconds, the hours. We knew.
Life would betray us, and life would consume us.
In the Winter, I was deployed and we knew.
Maddening words we said.
Just wishes whispered to the winds.
We knew before we started the fire of love,
was a dangerous and impossible ride.
I left you in January and I didn’t know.
Would be the last time, I saw your face and held you tightly.
If I knew. I would have stayed and never released you.
