Tears for Fears Rivers Of Mercy

AlphabetLyrics.com

Well, the streets have started burning
There's trouble in the towns
Guess the devil loves his playground, that's for sure
I too often see the world through a veil of tears
Well, to hell with my immunity
Gonna hold you close
Till the shadows disappear.

(Drop me in rivers of mercy, yeah)

If by magic, you mean the ocean
If by tragic, you mean the end
We weren't wrong, we were just hungry
For manna from heaven
And come and down me in the infinite sea.

Drop me in rivers of mercy, yeah...
Dare I imagine some faith and understanding?
Drop me in rivers of mercy, yeah...
Bring out the dead tonight and bathe them in your sacred light to
Wash away the pain (wash away the pain)
Save me from the shadows, yeah...
Cry like a siren
The light on my horizon
Drop me in rivers of mercy, yeah....

Show me mercy, miracle waters
Make me golden, part of the dream
We got stung
We were just lovers
Born of temptation
Slow down, river, and float me upstream.

Drop me in rivers of mercy, yeah...
Dare I imagine some faith and understanding?
Drop me in rivers of mercy, yeah...
Bring out the dead tonight and bathe them in your sacred light to
Wash away the pain (wash away the pain)
Save me from the shadows, yeah...
Cry like a siren
The light on my horizon
Drop me in rivers of mercy, yeah...

Spinning upside down
In the wake of mighty waves
See the anger of the world
When feelings run high
When feelings are so raw
We will give in to the night.

Drop me in rivers of mercy, yeah...
Dare I imagine some faith and understanding?
Drop me in rivers of mercy, yeah...
Bring out the dead tonight and bathe them in your sacred light to
Wash away the pain (wash away the pain)
Save me from the shadows, yeah...
Cry like a siren
The light on my horizon
Drop me in rivers of mercy, yeah...
