Co-written with Peepa Gilbertie at the Cove on Georgetown Island, 2015
Swimming in water way over my head
Regretting the things I shouldn't have said
Always in trouble, keep stirring the pot
My words keep flowing I just can't stop
Filled with desire, how can I make you stay
Burned by the fire but those words
Those words just get in the way
I say Lord have mercy on me
Oh Lord have mercy on me
Lord have mercy on me
Your voice is so calm and self-assured
People take notice with just one word
But me I'm babbling like a mountain brook
Trying to win just a single look
And you don't hear what I say
No you just turn away
I say Lord have mercy on me
Oh Lord have mercy on me
Lord have mercy on me
Lord have mercy on me...
