Tender Mercy Lyrics

guess you know this is a wonderful life You got to be so glad to be livin' All along the golden delta skyway underneath the southern moon Out of New England towards Santa Fe West now my pretty milkin' maid Fresh horses just for to carry you You're gonna make it in a day or two Sunrise, this garden of Eden Got to keep walkin' on 'til the sun goes down Some days you get six feet under Some days you hit higher ground But if you run like hell when there's a storm rollin' in Well, you had sure better have a prayer, Lord, And some Tender Mercy within. As you rise up Gillgharra mountainside Walkin' down Strawberry Avenue There is a weight of old Spanish iron You'd better keep out a watch tonight And the borderline of this restless wandering And the will for to seek out the light Go anyplace now, walk in peace It's gonna be alright, Lord, it's gonna be alright Well if you reach out you're gonna heave it in You're gonna move it on, you're gonna share it out But if you hold on there will always be something so strong within As this mornin' light turns to slumber now As these city streets make do for shelter, Lord, This land a pillow now, come rest your weary head Look out, look in, look out, look in But if you run like hell . . .
