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

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's rising
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, 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
