₰ "Dreaming of Mercy Street..."₰
[lyrics]
,,Looking down on empty streets, all she can see
are the dreams all made solid,
are the dreams all made real.
All of the buildings and all of those cars
were once just a dream,
in somebody's head.
She pictures the broken glass, she pictures the steam
she pictures a 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 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 insides 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...
Anne, with her father is out in the boat,
Riding the water,
Riding the waves--on the sea...''
