Wrap the Hours

from Wild & New by westwork

lyrics

Hang the lights that will lead you to blindness,
cover your eyes, ‘cause you can’t fight this,
won’t the night have mercy on you now.

Love the man but you can’t own him
love his life but you can’t control him
won’t the night have mercy on you now.

Won’t the night have mercy on you now,
Reminisce on a place you’ve never been
Won’t the night have mercy on you now,
don’t confuse the sinner with the sin.


Tear down the walls that would keep you protected,
Close to the cure but don’t get infected,
won’t the night have mercy on you now.

Wrap the hours, the time you’ve been given,
Hold them close but don’t keep them hidden,
won’t the night have mercy on you now.

Won’t the night have mercy on you now,
Safe but not so close that you can’t breathe
Won’t the night have mercy on you now,
Don’t confuse the victim with the deed.










Fall off the road that you had your day in,
lose the words before you can say them,
won’t the night have mercy on you now.

Wrap the hours, the time you’ve been given,
Hold them close but don’t keep them hidden,
won’t the night have mercy on you now.

Won’t the night have mercy on you now,
Reminisce on a place you’ve never been
Won’t the night have mercy on you now,
don’t confuse the sinner with the sin.

Won’t the night have mercy on you now,
Safe but not so close that you can’t breathe
Won’t the night have mercy on you now,
Don’t confuse the victim with the deed.
