Tender Mercies Songtext
von Eddie Vedder

It came to nothing
This longing
This long
Your tender mercies
They weren′t enough
Weren't enough

Oh, what I said, it′s taken us
So long to learn, the world is
Coming down around us while
We wait our turn
Now we're running out of road
And hope will have you gone

They'll try to warn ya
It′s a cruel world
A cruel world
They′ll mislead and misinform you
Don't you turn
Don′t you turn


Oh, what I said, it's taken us
So long to learn, the world is
Falling down around us while
We wait our turn
Now we′re running out of road
And hope will have you gone

Beyond that light storm in the air
I wonder if you'd hear it now
An endless storm come ringing through the air

Oh, what I said, it′s taken us
So long to learn, the world is
Coming down around us while
We wait our turn
Now we're running out, still
Plain in doubt, still
Jumping from the windows of love

Your tender mercies
They weren't enough
Weren′t enough
