O Mercy Louise

(album: Rockland - 1989)

Louise
I'm forever losing you
I even wave at you in my dreams
Losing you is a bad, bad dream

O mercy Louise
O mercy Louise
My life is flashing before us
Can we survive a little rain
Falling in our hearts
I'll do anything to save us

The sunshine's on
Don't be troubled by stormy clouds
Hold me close 'til they clear
And any woman
Any woman who could hold me so
Oh, it's gonna be a long night
If we get hot it could be a long life
I'll do anything to save us

O mercy Louise
O mercy Louise
My life is flashing before us
Can we survive a little rain
Falling in our hearts
I'll do anything to save us

I'm losing you and the argument
How can you be so nonchalant
Losing you is a bad, bad dream
Tell me, am I in or am I out, Louise

Walking beside you makes me tall, Louise
Talking with you makes me stutter baby
I'm yelling at you and I'm turning blue, Louise
How can you be so nonchalant at a time like this in my life

O mercy Louise
O mercy Louise
My life is flashing before us
Can we survive a little rain
Falling in our hearts
I'll do anything to save us
My life is flashing before us
And I'll do anything to save us
Oh, Louise
