|
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 |
