Bm (Bm7)
Looking down on empty streets, all she can see,
Em/G Em7
Are the dreams all made solid, are the dreams made real,
Bm (Bm7)
All of the buildings, all of the cars,
Em/G Em7
Were once just a dream in somebody's head,
Bm (Bm7)
She pictures the broken glass, pictures the steam,
Em/G Em7 Bm
She pictures a soul with no leak at the seams!
Bm
Take the boat out! (Wait until darkness!)
Bm Bm/A Bm
Let's take the boat out! (Wait until dark - ness comes!)
Bm (Bm7)
Nowhere in the corridors of pale green and grey,
Em/G Em7
Nowhere in the suburbs, in the cold light of day,
Bm (Bm7)
There in the midst of it, so a - live and alone,
G A
Words support like bone!
A Bm G A Bm Bm/A G
Dreaming of Mer - cy Street, wear your in - side out,
D G G/B A/C# Bm A
Dreaming of mercy... in your daddy's arms a - gain,
Bm G G/B A Bm Bm/A G
Dreaming of Mer - cy----- Street, swear they moved that sign,
D G G/B A/C# Bm
Dreaming of mercy... in your daddy's arms!

Bm (Bm7)
Pulling out the papers from the drawers that slide smooth,
Em/G Em7
Tugging at the darkness, word upon word,
Bm (Bm7)
Con - fessing all the secrets things, in the warm velvet box,
Em/G Em7
To the priest, he's the doctor, he can handle the shocks,
Bm (Bm7)
Dreaming of the tenderness, the tremble in the hips,
G A
Of kissing Mary's lips!
A Bm G A Bm Bm/A G

Looking for mercy... in your daddy's arms!

Anne, with her father, is out in the boat,

Riding the water, riding the waves... on the sea!
