Rivers Of Mercy

Tears For Fears Tears For Fears

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
'Til the shadows disappear

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 drown 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
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
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
Save me from the shadows, yeah
Cry like a siren, the light on my horizon
Drop me in rivers of mercy, yeah
