Eleven days,  
A dozen nights,  
A thousand tears...  
And you are my shoulder.  
From summer's haze, on morning light,  
The sun is rising...  
Just like I told you.  
 
[CHORUS] 
If you fall -  
I'll never let your spirit break,  
If you call -  
I'll always soothe the cries you make,  
If it's all I can do -  
I'll slowly kiss your dreams awake  
You're not alone for heavens sake,  
Mercury Rising  
 
From winter skies,  
A cold embrace -  
The shadows meet,  
And they drag you under...  
The moonlight's mine  
And yours to chase -  
Your star is rising,  
Beyond your wonder...  
 
[Chorus] 
 
You're not alone for heaven sake  
Your tears run so freely,  
Your fears run so deeply down...  
The pressure is breaking -  
Quicksilver awaking now...  
Can you feel it rise?  
Can you see it rise?  
Droplets of dreams  
That you touched, disappear...  
There's change in the weather,  
And wind in your hair,  
And Mercury's rising,  
Mercury's rising  
Rising...  
Rising...  
Rising...  
Mercury's rising...  
 
Eleven days,  
A dozen nights,  
A thousand tears...  
And you are my shoulder.  
From summer's haze, on morning light,  
The sun is rising...  
Just like I told you
