Will & Mercy (G. Kooymans/B. Hay) 1980 Prisoner Of The Night

Will’s a broken down lover who’s never been outside the city he lives in
He’s got memories of better days and he’s floatin’ in his dream
But tonight’s the night that’s gonna change his life, gonna change the whole situation
Mercy just got off the train, gets a cab at the station

Diamond time ahead, coming in the clear
Lonely hearts disappear ‘cause Mercy’s on her way
And Will don’t have to wait time and time for the day anymore

Mercy’s got enough of the now and then of her strait jacket existance
So she packs her bags and cuts her hair and throws away the ribbons
‘Cause tonight’s the night that’s gonna change her life, gonna change the whole situation
Will just turned the free sign off, baby where can I take it

Diamond time ahead, coming in the clear
Lonely hearts disappear ‘cause Mercy’s on her way
And Will don’t have to wait time and time for the day

Who, who will stop the rain, who will stop the rain again
Who, we will stop the rain, we will stop the rain and then

Diamond time ahead, coming in the clear
Lonely hearts disappear ‘cause Mercy’s on her way
And Will don’t have to wait time and time for the day anymore, anymore…
