Mercy! You Need Saving

This number was featured on the soundtrack to the latest episode of Grey's Anatomy:

The lord of lies stole you away from me
He filled your cup, it over flowed
The wine of deceit
Will never taste as sweet in the morning
The shame you wear, you put it there
It's yours to bare

Mercy, you need saving!
You traded a dove for a raven
A raven

I built an altar below that withered tree
For you to kneel, for me to heal your broken wings
Thirsty now from all your running days
The cup I pour, you'll thirst no more
My wine will restore

Mercy, you need saving!
You traded a dove for a raven
A raven
A raven

Ahh just stand up
Know what you're made of
Ahh just stand up
Know what you're made off

Mercy, you need saving!
You traded a dove for a raven
A raven
A raven

Did I trade a dove for a raven? I dunno. But I do know that whenever I watch that show, it makes me want to be part of a couple. I love this quote from the scene where this song was playing in the background:

"I think I'm falling in love, and I'm really afraid it's going to destroy me."

"Wouldn't be love if it didn't."

I'm gonna have to agree. Even under the best of circumstances, love destroys so much of what we tell ourselves to get along without it. I see that as a good thing, ultimately, but it sure isn't comfy getting there...
