[Intro] (fingerpicked acoustic, one guitar, room tone audible, 4 bars) [Verse 1 - Female Vocal] (barely above speaking) You're still standing there. You've been standing there since you finished talking. You can sit down. The floor is fine. The floor is where I already am. [Verse 2 - Female Vocal] My father never once said he was angry. I used to think that was his strength. I think now he just didn't have the words for it, and neither do you, and I'm not going to hold that against either one of you. [Chorus - Female Vocal] (pump organ drone enters underneath) Have mercy on the ones who doubt. Pull some of them right out of the fire. And the rest of them — mercy. Mercy, with fear. [Verse 3 - Female Vocal] You were right about almost all of it. That's the thing I keep turning over. You were right, and you were standing over me, and the standing over was the whole problem. [Chorus - Female Vocal] Have mercy on the ones who doubt. Pull some of them right out of the fire. And the rest of them — mercy. Mercy, with fear. [Outro - Female Vocal Spoken] (guitar stops, voice alone, unhurried) Sit down. [End]
