sometimes a find a song, that perfectly describes who i am or was at a specific time in my life. sometimes, a song that i have heard hundreds of time, suddenly hits me, and even though i have heard it over and over again, it suddenly means so much more to me. because of where i am in my life, i can relate to it as though it were written for me, about me. so this is mercury.

She is trapped inside a month of gray
And they take a little every day
She is a victim of her own responses
shackled to a heart that wants to settle
and then runs away
It's a sin to be fading endlessly
Yeah, but she's alright with me
She is leaving on a walkaway
She is leaving me in disarray
In the absence of a place to be
she stands there looking back at me
hesitates, and then turns away
She'll change so suddenly
She's just like mercury
Yeah, but she's alright with me
Keep some sorrow in your hearts and minds
for the things that die before their time
For the restlessly abandoned homes
the tired and weary rambler's bones
and stay beside me where I lie
She's entwined in me
Crazy as can be
Yeah, but she's alright with me
