Song information
I wrote and recorded this years ago... I recently acquired a Martin 18 mahogany sinker... so I relearned the song in D so I could use a drop D on my acoustic... and I decided to pull up the drums that my son had done previously and re-record ... the song has a completely different flavor... the mix is less dense and you can hear more of the nuance of my son's drumming... I posted a previous version in E, with a guitar solo in the break... and in this one I do a piano solo in the break... you can tell me which version you prefer if you'd like

Lyrics
Ever the wanderer, often away

Only half listen to things that you say

Then the storm drives me home, 
and I find I’m alone

and I’m frightened and longing for friends.

When the grace is all used up, 
then your mercy begins



And the mercy that follows me 
where ever I’ve been

Is the mercy that saves me again and again

The God of that mercy has 
been a great friend... oh mercy

Send me mercy, tender mercy again



Sometimes a fugitive, guilty of crime

Fully preparing to do some hard time

Then i fall to my knees and I cry out God please

I’m afraid I may die in my sin

When the grace is all used up
 
then that’s when your mercy begins



And the mercy that follows me 
where ever I’ve been

Is the mercy that saves me again and again

The God of that mercy has 
been a great friend... oh mercy

Send me mercy, tender mercy again

Mercy keep me in this place

never let me fall from grace

Mercy finds me when I’m far

brings me back to where you are

If my heart is far away

precious mercy let me stay

Close enough to see your face

God of mercy full of grace

Freakin' AWESOME bro!
Love that beginning. Guitars and vocals sound sublime.
Melodic bass work. This one's got it all!
A keeper to be sure!

Excellent, Scott.  Everything is just perfect.  I'm envious of your mastering skills.
BTW, the piano sounds great.
