Gathering Mercury - Colin Hay

Free falling floating through this dream

I could hear a strange calling from behind the scenes

I could not open my eyes I was barely alive

Is this all I’ve been and all I am and will be

Until I cross over

One life is all I can see

Until it’s all over

I’m gathering mercury

Free falling over an endless sea

I could feel my heart stalling getting harder to breathe

As the boat casts away should I go or stay

Is this all I’ve been and all I am and will be

Until I cross over

One life is all I can see

Until it’s all over

I’m gathering mercury

Free falling now I want to sing

I can hear my voice calling it will hear everything

I cut myself free I crawled back to see

All that has been and all there is and will be

Until I cross over

One life is all I can see

Until it’s all over

I’m gathering mercury

Until I cross over

One life is all I can see

Until it’s all over

I’m gathering mercury

I’m gathering mercury
