Love knocked my door one day In the mindst of my suffering Lost at the core I turn away When the illusion meant everything As the winter of my dreams died down I turned to hear the different sound In the house of the rising sun Stll the snow falls down on mercy streets You can rest when the day is done But you're long gone now As the snow falls down on mercy streets Long,long ago I held on tight Life was all about making it Then came the the time of the cold dark night Disappointment had taken it I would not have my day in the sun But at least I could have some fun! In the house of the rising sun Stll the snow falls down on mercy streets You can rest when the day is done But you're long gone now As the snow falls down on mercy streets As the days goes down, slowly slipping now There's a time bringhter knowing Inner places reach, trying hard to breach There's so much that we cannot understand In the house of the rising sun Stll the snow falls down on mercy streets You can rest when the day is done But you're long gone now As the snow falls down on mercy streets
