Mercy moon, she never kiss and tell
Though she knows the secret,
The secret of the silent swell
Mercy moon, she never kiss and tell
Though she knows the secret of the swell
And how the deal is done

Oh won't you listen to my prayer, won't you listen to my prayer?
Merciful one
Oh won't you listen to my prayer, for travellers lost in the rising sun?

Mercy moon, oh she knows how the deal is done
And when you've come too far on the rise and fall
To be too far gone
Mercy moon, oh she knows how the deal is done
And when you've come too far on the rise and fall
Not to make it home

Oh won't you listen to my prayer, won't you listen to my prayer?
Merciful one
Oh won't you listen to my prayer, for travellers lost in the rising sun?

Cos she's a friend, she's a friend to a woman
And lord knows she needs one, lord knows she needs one
Mercy moon
Mercy moon, pour down your mercy on this soul
The one who knows the ebb the flow, has guided in us all
Mercy moon, pour down your mercy on this soul
The one who knows the reap the sew, the secret, the secret of the fall

Oh won't you listen to my prayer, won't you listen to my prayer?
Merciful one
Oh won't you listen to my prayer, for travellers lost in the rising sun?
Lost in the rising sun, for travellers lost in the rising sun?
