The Jewel Of June - The Milk Carton Kids

Mercy come upon us

Mercy let us go

Hold me up just longer

Shine a light on hope

Shine upon what's missing

Shine upon the rest

Calm the winds inside me

Torrents in my chest

It only takes a moment for a lifetime to go by

It only takes a moment for the changing of the signs

You will not remember

Though you were the same

The jewel of june the gemini

Forever shares your name

Forever in our minds

As if love would obey time

As if wonder could be lost

As if truth could tell a lie

It only takes moment for a lifetime to go by

It only takes a moment for the changing of the signs

Mercy you're upon us

Mercy you've been slow

Lest you think we're stronger

For what we've got to show

Cast upon what shines now

A shadow laid to rest

The voices of our fathers

Whispers of our death

It only takes moment for a lifetime to go by

It only takes a moment for the changing of the signs
