As the sun goes dark and the wind blows silent Are these just signs of the times When the seas lay calm and all goes quiet A storm, it comes to mind
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
In the wake of the flood, in the hurricane's eye I pray for the dove in hope she'll fly 'Cause we need a miracle now
A yearning in my heart, well
Sister of mercy, wrap your arms around me now
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
I'm no man of God, but I'm all for trying Cries a desperate man in his time of dying Save me, just name you price
Oh won't you save me, well
Sister of mercy put your arms around me Sister of mercy put your arms around me Sister of mercy put your arms around me
