about

This song is my first Country genre release. A little known trivia fact is, It was inspired by 2 Chronicles 7:14 in The Bible. It was written as if God is speaking to His people in the first verse and the Chorus lines. The second verse: as if spoken by one, or more of his people, to the whole body of Christ.

lyrics

It’s been so long
Since you strayed so far
I’m coming for you
In this old train car

I promise you
I’ll never leave you alone
Nor ever count you
As forever gone

Oh, the pain I feel
Is like a piercing blade to my heart

If my love comes back to me
She’ll know in her heart
just how much I am pleased

When mercy works in hearts at no cost
Cheap pickup lines become
A big turnoff

Your precious life
Is a God given gift
A sparkling gem
On a snow white drift

When will we learn
The source of its glow
Is the love we get
And love that we show

Oh, but the pain I feel
Is like a piercing blade to my heart

If my love comes back to me
She’ll know in her heart
Just how much I am pleased

When mercy works in hearts at no cost
Cheap pickup lines become
A big turnoff

If my love returns to me
Looks into my eyes she’ll find
The joy she’s been seeking

When mercy turns a hard heart soft
Tempting lies become
A big turnoff

If my love comes back to me
She’ll know in her heart
Just how much
I am pleased

When mercy works in hearts at no cost
Cheap pickup lines become
A big turn-off

about

Doug Clare Detroit, Michigan

Doug started as a 1970's Rock and Blues musician, with his foot in the 50's and 60's pop tunes era. Some say they can hear the old school roots in his music, others say he's just old.

But he knows music is timeless and therefore it doesn't recognize it's listener's age.

Don't pin him in any generation, or genre. Each one has it's place in his heart and contributes to the new sounds he creates.
