Mercy Street Elbow

[Verse 1]
Looking down on empty streets, all she can see
Are the dreams all made solid
Are the dreams made real
All of the buildings and all of the cars
Were once just a dream in somebody's head
She pictures the broken glass, pictures the steam
She pictures a soul
With no leak at the seams

[Interlude]
(Let's take the boat out)
Wait until darkness
(Let's take the boat out)
Wait until darkness comes

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
Dreaming of Mercy Street
Wear your inside out
Dreaming of mercy
In your daddy's arms again
Dreaming of Mercy Street
I swear they moved that sign
Dreaming of mercy
In your daddy's arms
