The Crying Tree of Mercury

This is the song I’ve been singing my whole life I’ve been waiting like a knife To cut open your heart And bleed my soul into you I did it all for you You and you and you and you This is the sound I’ve been making my whole life I’ve been waiting for this night To clear up all the talk Although I’m selfish to a fault Is it selfish it’s you I want? You, I did it all for you This love will stand as long as you There’s really no excuse I did it all for you These are the tears I’ve been crying my whole life Like an ocean of desire I’m reaching through the noise Across the dusk of time Within the lilting lies I am singing out to you
