Verse 1
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 the cars.
Were once just a dream,
In somebody's head.
She pictures the broken glass,
Pictures the steam.
She pictures a soul,
Dm7 (Am)
With no leak at the seam.
Bridge 1
Let's take the boat out,
(Wait until darkness).
Let's take the boat out,
(Wait until darkness comes).
Verse 2
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 a-live and alone.
Words support like bone.
Chorus 1
Dreaming of Mer-cy Street,
Where you're in-side out.
Dreaming of mercy,
In your daddy's arms a-gain.
Dreaming of Mer-cy Street,
Swear they moved that sign.
Dreaming of mercy,
In your daddy's arms...
Interlude
Am7 F (x3) Am
Verse 3
Pulling out the papers,
From the drawers that slide smooth.
Tugging at the darkness,
Word upon word.
Con-fessing 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.
Chorus 2
Mer-cy Street,
Where you're in-side out.
Dreaming of mercy,
In your daddy's arms a-gain.
Dreaming of Mer-cy Street,
Swear they moved that sign.
Dreaming of mercy,
In your daddy's arms...
Interlude
Am7 F (x3) Am
Break
Mercy...Mercy...
Looking for mercy.
Mercy...
Looking for mercy...
Looking for mercy...
Looking for mercy...
Coda
Anne with her father,
Is out in the boat,
Riding the water,
Riding the waves on the sea.
