clarks – mercury lyrics

leave for the country let the day begin
i carry my share of original sin
i’m writing you a letter from a telephone
sign it messenger man in the great unknown

and i wanna be like mercury
with the wind blowin’ through my hair

swim up the river to the cedar trees
follow the sun and catch a nice cool breeze
bicycle trail only runs so far
this is a place you can’t get by car

and i wanna be like mercury
with the wind blowin’ through my hair

walk through the woods on a moonlit night
i carry a comp-ss and a small flashlight
deliver my message in a mason jar
planting my seeds they’re growing star to star

and i wanna be like mercury
with the wind blowin’ through my hair
and i wanna be like mercury
and i wanna be like mercury
like mercury
like mercury
like mercury
like mercury
like mercury
like mercury
mercury
like mercury
like mercury
