Mercy Street - Peter Gabriel Song Lyrics


Looking down on empty streets, all she can see
Are the dreams all made solid
Are the dreams made realAll of the buildings, all of the cars
Were once just a dream
In somebody's headShe pictures the broken glass, pictures the steam
She pictures a soul
With no leak at the seamLet's take the boat out
Wait until darkness
Let's take the boat out
Wait until darkness comesNowhere in the corridors of pale green and gray
Nowhere in the suburbs
In the cold light of day
There in the midst of it, so alive and alone
Words support like boneDreaming 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 armsPulling 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 shocksDreaming 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 armsMercy, mercy, looking for mercy
Looking for mercy
Mercy, looking for mercy
Mercy, looking for mercy
Looking for mercy
Oh, mercy
Looking for mercyAnne, with her father, is out in the boat
Riding the water
Riding the waves on the sea
