| 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 |
