[ Featuring John Oates ]
It's one o'clock in the afternoon
I'm drunk at the bar
She comes and sits down beside me
Says ""boy, don't know how lucky you are
I gotta place round the corner
Or we can go to your car
I can take you to heaven
Won't cost much to see God""
Mmmm
This emptiness inside us
Can easily divide us
But if we hold each other now
Mercy and kindness
Just may remind us
To hold each other now
If you're tired of the table
On which your life is as stake
When your heart's lost it's rhythm
When you owe more than you make
When you're holding it together
But your grip is starting to break
Come and sit down beside me
We'll drink one to our mistakes
Mmmm
This emptiness inside us
Can easily divide us
But if we hold each other now
Mercy and kindness
Just may remind us
To hold each other now
Hold each other
Hold each other
I know when it's raining
Just like I know when i'm alone
We stumble through lives
Just like I'm about to stumble on home
I gave that woman a fifty
Told her to take it and go
Cnd I hope where she's headed
It's mercy she knows
Mmmm
This emptiness inside us
Can easily divide us
But if we hold each other now
Mercy and kindness
Just may remind us
To hold each other now
