Lyrics for Mercy Street For Anne Sexton by Peter Gabriel:
| | | Artist: | Peter Gabriel |
| | Album: | So | | Track: | Mercy Street For Anne Sexton | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 92 | | | | 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, 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
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 st.
wear your insides out
dreaming of mercy
in your
daddy's arms again
dreaming of mercy st.
'swear they moved that sign
looking for
mercy
in your daddy's arms
mercy, mercy, looking for mercy
mercy, mercy,
looking for mercy
Anne, with her father is out in the boat
riding the
water
riding the waves on the sea | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
