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 |
