Song information
My son Ian played drums on this... I played and sang everything else... one of the hardest songs for me to mix through the years... I wanted to hear everything and I could never get it right in Logic, When Tom (Toveco) told me to give Mixbus a try, this is the song I brought to the table, and that was when I changed my DAW from Logic… Mixbus just worked so much better for me

I wrote this on piano... I actually could hear the song while driving so I was jotting down lyrics... the song just kept coming in my head ... anyway I had the song in my head by the time I got home and when I picked up my guitar I proceeded to lose the whole thing... I set my guitar down spent some time retrieving what I originally heard in my head … and then I went to the piano and the song re-emerged... 

recorded and mixed here at my home studio...

Lyrics
Ever the wanderer, often away

Only half listen to things that you say

Then the storm drives me home, 
and I find I’m alone

and I’m frightened and longing for friends.

When the grace is all used up, 
then your mercy begins



And the mercy that follows me 
where ever I’ve been

Is the mercy that saves me again and again

The God of that mercy has 
been a great friend... oh mercy

Send me mercy, tender mercy again



Sometimes a fugitive, guilty of crime

Fully preparing to do some hard time

Then i fall to my knees and I cry out God please
I’m afraid I may die in my sin

When the grace is all used up
 
then that’s when your mercy begins



And the mercy that follows me 
where ever I’ve been

Is the mercy that saves me again and again

The God of that mercy has 
been a great friend... oh mercy

Send me mercy, tender mercy again

Mercy keep me in this place

never let me fall from grace

Mercy finds me when I’m far

brings me back to where you are

If my heart is far away

precious mercy let me stay

Close enough to see your face

God of mercy full of grace

Beautiful track. Great song -- kind of reminds me a bit of some of those late '70s singer/songwriter yacht rock tracks by groups like England Dan and John Ford Coley or some of Billy Joel's furtive stabs at that genre, but you've made it your own thing here and it's wonderful.
