Mercury's Oath

from Odds And Ends by Zephaniah Stringfield

/

lyrics

As I roam and as I ramble
Make my way across the vine
There are many paths I have not trod on
But I trust that I’ll cross them in time

And I cannot walk on water
And I can’t turn whiskey to wine
And I can’t lift a mountain
Oh, but lord, I’m gonna try

I’ve seen rain and I’ve heard thunder
I’ve seen the skies turn back to blue
Sometimes I am so sick of changing
But I know that that will be changing soon

And I can walk just like coyote
I can sing like a mockingbird
I got eyes like a painted portrait
There ain’t no lie I haven’t heard

So you can keep your devilish flattery
I can’t condemn the sins of man
Every fate has it’s misfortune
They’ve long gone hand in hand

And you can sit just like a statue
Watch the world just roll on by
But I’ve got the breeze around my ankles
And lord, I’ve got to fly
