|
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, 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 |
|
Lets 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 |
|
Looking for mercy |
|
In your daddy's arms |
