Mercy Street

In the style of

Peter Gabriel

Lyrics

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 those 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 seam

wait until darkness

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
swear they moved that sign

dreaming of mercy
in your daddy's arms

pulling out the papers
from the 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
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

the law of mercy

looking for mercy

ann with her father
is out in the boat

riding the water
riding the waves on the sea
