Haven of Mercy is dedicated to the memory of Charles Sawtelle, and to all our friends who have shown the way. I wrote it in 1985 after a visit to a magical place in Mendocino County, CA, somewhere between Anchor Bay and Point Arena.

(This was recorded in Bb, with the capo on the third fret and played out of the G position on the guitar)

VERSE 1
G C G Em D G
At the end of just another day, that's when I miss her most
G C G Em D
When her memories gather 'round me like old familiar ghosts
G C G Em D G
Then high above this rocky coast, there's a place that I can go
C G Em C D G
To heal the wounds of a heartbreak, and soothe a lovesick soul

CHORUS

C G Em D G
I can hear the angels singing, and I feel near, my God, to thee,

C G Em D
As I watch the sun a-sinking below me in the sea

G C G Em D G C
The tall trees gather 'round me, whispering, "Pilgrim, welcome home,"

G Em C D G
Sweet haven of mercy, sweet peace for my soul

VERSE 2

The hawk hangs above me, the raven glides below

The quail has found a hiding place in the woods so dark and low

And I'm like a tiny sparrow, who's found a place to nest

At the very gates of heaven, my haven of rest

repeat CHORUS
