Colin Hay - Gathering Mercury Lyrics






Free falling floating through this dream
I could hear a strange calling from behind the scenes
I could not open my eyes I was barely alive
Is this all I’ve been and all I am and will be

Until I cross over
One life is all I can see
Until it’s all over
I’m gathering mercury

Free falling over an endless sea
I could feel my heart stalling getting harder to breathe
As the boat casts away should I go or stay
Is this all I’ve been and all I am and will be

Until I cross over
One life is all I can see
Until it’s all over
I’m gathering mercury

Free falling now I want to sing
I can hear my voice calling it will hear everything
I cut myself free I crawled back to see
All that has been and all there is and will be

Until I cross over
One life is all I can see
Until it’s all over
I’m gathering mercury

Until I cross over
One life is all I can see
Until it’s all over
I’m gathering mercury
I’m gathering mercury

    Omg.....what a beautiful song about almost dying! Colin could probably write about pooping and it would sound amazing!

    My favorite new release! Colin Hay is of the best songwriters and musicians of our time. I agree with Alexis too. The album is incredible. It's a journey of loosing those we love and facing our own mortality. All wrapped up in beautiful music. Even more poignant with the untimely death of Greg Ham. Thanks for a beautiful album Colin Hay.
