Black Uhuru - Mercy Street lyrics
[Black Uhuru - Mercy Street 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 somebodys head
She pictures the broken glass
She pictures the steam she pictures a soul
With no leak at the seam
Let's 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 daddys 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 hes the doctor
He can handle the shocks
Dreaming of the tenderness-the tremble
In the hips of kissing marys lips
Dreaming of mercy st wear your insides out
Dreaming of mercy in your daddys arms again
Dreaming of mercy st
Swear they moved that sign looking for mercy
In your daddys 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
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 somebodys head
She pictures the broken glass
She pictures the steam she pictures a soul
With no leak at the seam
Let's 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 daddys 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 hes the doctor
He can handle the shocks
Dreaming of the tenderness-the tremble
In the hips of kissing marys lips
Dreaming of mercy st wear your insides out
Dreaming of mercy in your daddys arms again
Dreaming of mercy st
Swear they moved that sign looking for mercy
In your daddys 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
