mercury rising

eleven days

a dozen nights

a thousand tears. and you are my shoulder. from summer's haze

on morning light

the sun is rising. just like i told you. if you fall -

i'll never let your spirit break

if you call -

i'll always soothe the cries you make

if it's all i can do -

i'll slowly kiss your dreams awake

you're not alone for heavens sake

mercury rising

from winter skies

a cold embrace -

the shadows meet

and they drag you under. the moonlight's mine

and yours to chase -

your star is rising

beyond your wonder. you're not alone for heaven sake

your tears run so freely

your fears run so deeply down. the pressure is breaking -

quicksilver awaking now. can you feel it rise?

can you see it rise?

droplets of dreams

that you touched

disappear. there's change in the weather

and wind in your hair

and mercury's rising

mercury's rising

rising. rising. rising. mercury's rising. eleven days

a dozen nights

a thousand tears. and you are my shoulder. from summer's haze

on morning light

the sun is rising. just like i told you
