Mercy Street |
Looking down on empty streets, all she can see |
Are the dreams all made solid |
Are the dreams made real |
All of the buildings, all of the cars |
Were once just a dream |
In somebody’s head |
She pictures the broken glass, pictures the steam |
She pictures a soul |
With no leak at the seams |
Let’s take the boat out |
Wait until darkness |
Let’s take the boat out |
Wait until darkness comes |
Nowhere in the corridors of pale green and grey |
Nowhere in the suburbs |
In the cold light of day |
There in the midst of it, so alive and alone |
Words support like bone |
Dreaming of Mercy Street |
Wear your inside out |
Dreaming of mercy |
In your daddy’s arms again |
Dreaming of Mercy Street |
I swear they moved that sign |
Dreaming of mercy |
In your daddy’s arms |
Pulling out the papers from drawers that slide smooth |
Tugging at the darkness |
Word upon word |
Confessing all the secret things in the warm velvet box |
To the priest, he’s the doctor |
He can handle the shocks |
Dreaming of the tenderness, the tremble in the hips |
Of kissing Mary’s lips |
Dreaming of Mercy Street |
Wear your inside out |
Dreaming of mercy |
In your daddy’s arms again |
Dreaming of Mercy Street |
I swear they moved that sign |
Looking for mercy |
In your daddy’s arms |
Mercy, mercy, looking for mercy |
Looking for mercy |
Mercy, looking for mercy |
Looking for mercy, looking for mercy |
Looking for mercy, looking for mercy |
Anne, with her father, is out in the boat |
Riding the water |
Riding the waves on the sea |
