Mother Of Mercy

I walked alone on different shores
The seas of time were raging
I've sung so many songs
And now the tide is changing
I followed footsteps of those I thought were friends
But I've been blinded, let down again

Mother of mercy won't you sing with me
We'll sail together to the distant shores
And sing our songs for evermore
Mother of mercy won't you sing with me
We'll walk together on the distant shores
Where love will grow forever more

I gave my songs to those who love
Only to watch them slip away
In my request for reality
I found that love was not for me
I gave my heart to those I thought were brave
Just to watch it fall apart when the times got rough again

Mother of mercy won't you sing with me
We can ride the night until the light of day
Mother of mercy won't you sing with me
We can walk the shores forever more
Where love might last for all eternity
Don't cry for mercy for all that I've done
Been broken hearted for all of my days
And I cry in my sleep for the secrets you keep
So long

I gave my soul to those who pleaded love
Just to watch it fall apart when the times they got rough, so tough...
Mother of mercy won't you sing with me
We can ride the night until the light of day
Mother of mercy won't you sing with me
We'll walk together on the distant shores
Where love will grow forever more
