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…
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…
