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
