Mercy

When I’m drunk I dream of you
When I’m dry it’s of you too
I have my clothes tucked in my bag
In case you do not want me back
And when I smile it won’t be long
Long again till I’m on my own
On the street and with the poor
To drink till I can’t think no more
So dream of lands far far away
And love to come to you one day
And think on things that make you smile
If it’s only for a while
May the road rise up to meet you
May god have mercy on you
And may that mercy follow
You your whole day through
