Well my sweet sister mercy Don't you like, don't you care Don't you leave me in deep despair Oh, it feels like I'm driftin'... Just a fool in the pourin' rain Locked out behind closed doors Will you be waiting to catch my fall? You know I'll search for a light That will lead me to heaven And I'm leavin' very soon But it's just like yesterday My sense of direction's confused You know I'll plead to the morning light Please soul sister, hear my plea I'll keep searchin' for a light That will lead me to heaven Will you be there to catch my fall? 'cause I'll keep searchin' for a lifetime That will lead me, that will lead me Sweet sister, sweet sister mercy
