Текст песни
[Verse 1] I came in late through the screen door Dust on my boots and blood on my mind You were sitting by the wash sink Holding that hurt so quiet and kind The house was still as a church bell Just the fan and a dog on the floor I saw the weight in your shoulders Like you’d been carrying mine before [Pre-Chorus] If I spoke, I’d break it If I moved, you’d know So I stood in the doorway Letting that silence grow [Chorus] Red clay mercy, hold us tight Red clay mercy through the night If we bend, don’t let us fall Keep a little love in the wall Red clay mercy, hold us tight Red clay mercy through the night [Verse 2] You poured two glasses from the pitcher Set one down and never asked why I watched your hands on the table Like they’d learned how to survive There’s a storm in the cane field There’s a bruise on the moon tonight But your face in that window Made the whole hard world seem right [Pre-Chorus] And I felt it rising Low in my chest Something old and faithful Calling me back to rest [Chorus] Red clay mercy, hold us tight Red clay mercy through the night If we bend, don’t let us fall Keep a little love in the wall Red clay mercy, hold us tight Red clay mercy through the night [Bridge] I been hard like winter I been gone too long But your name in my mouth now Turns my old ache into song [Chorus] Red clay mercy, hold us tight Red clay mercy through the night If we bend, don’t let us fall Keep a little love in the wall Red clay mercy, hold us tight Red clay mercy through the night [Outro] Hold us tight Through the night Red clay mercy
