Neal Morse - Mercy Street lyrics

Love knocked upon my door one day In the midst of my suffering Lost at the core I turned away When the illusion meant everything As the winter of my dreams died down I turned to hear a different sound In the house of the rising sun Still the snow falls down on mercy street You can rest when the day is done But you're long gone now As the snow falls down on mercy street Long, long ago I held on tight Life was all about making it Then came the time of the cold dark night Disappointment had taken it I would not have my day in the sun But at least I could have some fun! In the house of the rising sun Still the snow falls down on mercy street You can rest when the day is done But you're long gone now As the snow falls down on mercy street As the day goes down, slowly slipping now There's a time of a brighter knowing Inner places reach, trying hard to breach There's so much that we cannot understand In the house of the rising sun Still the snow falls down on mercy street You can rest when the day is done But your're long gone now As the snow falls down on mercy street
