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.



Chorus

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 heaven's 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...



Chorus



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
