Mercy Street
main lyrics
Looking down on empty streets, all she can see
are the dreams 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 s soul with no leak at the seam

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 cellars in the cold light of day

There in the midst of it, so alive and alone
words support like bone

Dreaming of Mercy Street where you're inside out
dreaming of mercy in your daddy's arms again
dreaming of Mercy Street—swear they moved that sign
dreaming of mercy in your daddy's arms

Pulling out the papers from drawers that slide smooth
turning 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, where you're inside out
dreaming of mercy in your daddy's arms again
dreaming of Mercy Street—swear they moved that sign
looking for mercy in your daddy's arms

(Mercy, mercy, looking for mercy
looking for mercy
looking for mercy
looking for mercy
looking for mercy
oh, mercy, have mercy)

Anne with her father, he's out in the boat
riding the water, riding the waves on the sea
