Mercury Lyrics

The girl is lost in the mist

Swept away by the crowd

Surging through the streets

So I take a few hurried steps

Then break into a run

I break into a run

I catch another glimpse

And then she's gone again

I can hear an echo of her voice

Somewhere far away

Her fragile form appears

Isolated now

Eyes blurred with tears

In a lost inner world

The slow striking of a clock

Reminds her of a time

Once upon a time

The sun is low in the sky

It binds her to the shadows

Darkening the air

I cannot leave her there

I cannot leave her there

All alone in dark narrow streets

In a place no one ever leaves

Will she listen to me

Will she accept my word

Or will she just look away

With those no coloured eyes

There's a soft rushing of the wind

In the cedar trees

In the cedar trees

Branches gilded by the moon

The purest silver light

Shining through the leaves

I find myself all alone

Frozen in the glass

Of a mirror out of time

So I take a few hurried steps

Then break into a run

I break into a run
