The Milk Carton Kids — The Jewel Of June lyrics

Lyrics

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 sides
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 a moment for a lifetime to go by
It only takes a moment for the changing of the sides
Mercy you’re upon us Mercy you’ve been slow
Lest you think were stronger
For what we’ve got to show
Cast upon what shines
Now a shadow laid to rest
Voices of our fathers
The whispers of our deaths
It only takes a moment for a lifetime to go by
It only takes a moment for the changing of the sides
