Sister of mercy
As the sun goes dark and the wind blows silent
Are these just signs of the times
Sister of mercy
When the seas lay calm and all goes quiet
A storm, it comes to mind

A burning in my heart
Like a ring of fire
A yearning in my heart, yeah

Sister of mercy, wrap your arms around me now
Sister of mercy, come on won't you save me now
Yeah

Sister of mercy
In the wake of the flood, in the hurricane's eye
Please don't desert me
Mercy, mercy
I pray for the dove in hope she'll fly
'Cause we need a miracle now

A burning in my heart
Like a ring of fire
A yearning in my heart, well

Sister of mercy, wrap your arms around me now
Sister of mercy

In a rough and raging ocean there's a beacon in the storm
She'll send a light to guide you, that's my little sister
Like a worn and weary soldier in a silent tug of war
Ooh, she'll pull you through the darkness before the dawn
Yeah, alright, alright

Oh, sister of mercy
I'm no man of God, but I'm all for trying
I'm on my knees tonight
Oh, mercy, mercy
Cries a desperate man in his time of dying
Save me, just name you price
Yeah

Sister of mercy
Put your arms around me
Oh won't you save me, well

Sister of mercy put your arms around me
Won't you save me
Sister of mercy put your arms around me
Won't you save me
Sister of mercy put your arms around me
Won't you save me now
