I walked on many different shores

The seas of time were raging

And I've sung so many songs

Now the tide is changing

I followed footsteps of those I thought were friends

But I've been blinded and let down again

Mother of mercy won't you sing with me

We'll sail together to the distant shores

Sing our songs forever more

Mother of mercy won't you sing with me

We'll sail together to 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 when the times got rough again

Mother of mercy won't you sing with me

We can ride the night 'till 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

I cry for mercy for all that I have 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

Mother of mercy won't you sing with me

We can ride the night till the light of day

Mother of mercy won't you sing with me

We'll sail together to the distant shores

Where love will grow forever more
