I walk ed on many different shores
 The seas of time were raging
 And I've sung so many songs
 Now the tide is changing
 I followed footsteps of those I thought were friends
 But I've been blinded and let down again
 Mother of mercy won't you sing with me
 We'll sail together to the distant shores
 Sing our songs for evermore
 Mother of mercy won't you sing with me
 We'll sail together to the distant shores
 Where love will grow forever more
 I gave my songs to those who love
 Only to watch them slip away
 In my request for reality
 I found that love was not for me
 I gave my heart to those I thought were brave
 Just to watch it fall when the times got rough again
 Mother of mercy won't you sing with me
 We can ride the night till the light of day
 Mother of mercy won't you sing with me
 We can walk the shores forever more
 Where love might last for all eternity
 I cry for mercy for all that I have done
 Been broken hearted for all of my days
 And I cry in my sleep for the secrets you keep
 So long
 I gave my soul to those who pleaded love
 Just to watch it fall apart when the times they got rough
 Mother of mercy won't you sing with me
 We can ride the night till the light of day
 Mother of mercy won't you sing with me
 We'll sail together to the distant shores
 Where love will grow forever more
