Mercy Street
Peter Gabriel
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 St
Wear your inside out
Dreaming of Mercy
In your daddy's arms again
Dreaming of Mercy St
Swear they moved that sign
Dreaming of Mercy
