Mercy Gates Lyrics

Mercy Gates lyrics

You might see me in the paper 

Or hear me on the radio 

And you'll probably imagine 

That I've forgotten you 

Long long ago 

Well I couldn't if i tried 

Though you might think i tell a lie 

I'll hold you in my memory 

From now 

Until the day I die 

Bomber jackets and young girls smile 

Valentines and county trials 

Meeting at the mercy gates 

All afternoon I couldn't wait 

My thoughts 

Were just of kissing you 

Now I might be mistaken 

But I think we met somewhere before 

Was I drunk and stoned and dancing 

On some salt hill disco's slippy floor 

With you nose on someone's shoulder 

Slow dancing tightly intertwined 

I wish we swapped our partners 

And continued dancing 

Till he end of time 

Bomber jackets and young girls smile 

Valentines and county trials 

Meeting at the mercy gates 

All afternoon I couldn't wait 

Duffel coats and desert boots 

The teacher spoke of Brian Boru 

My thoughts were just of kissing you 

My thoughts were just of kissing you
