Well my sweet sister mercy What have you done? You made a mess of me And now I'm so undone Don't you like, don't you care Don't you leave me in deep despair Oh, it feels like I'm driftin'...
Just a fool in the pourin' rain Locked out behind closed doors Will you be waiting to catch my fall? You know I'll search for a light That will lead me to heaven
Sweet sister mercy Where are you now Sweet sister mercy
High road to nowhere And I'm leavin' very soon Tomorrow, you say But it's just like yesterday
My sense of direction's confused You know I'll plead to the morning light That wherever's wrong She would make it right
Please soul sister, hear my plea I'll keep searchin' for a light That will lead me to heaven
Sweet sister mercy Where are you now Sweet sister mercy
Sweet sister mercy Where are you now Sweet sister mercy Where are you now Sweet sister mercy Will you be there to catch my fall? Sweet sister mercy 'cause I'll keep searchin' for a lifetime That will lead me, that will lead me Lead me to heaven Sweet sister mercy Sweet sister, sweet sister mercy Sweet sister mercy
