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 a soul with no leak at the seam

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

[verse]
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
LA SI
chorus
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
Looking for mercy in your daddy's arms
[solo]
Mercy, mercy looking for mercy
DO#m
Mercy, looking for mercy
DO#m SI DO# SI
Looking for mercy
DO#m LA
Looking for mercy...
DO#m
End:
Anne with her father is out in the boat
DO#m MI/DO#
Riding the water,
FA#m/LA
Riding the waves
FA#m
On the sea
DO#m
