Riding the Water, Riding the Waves

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 street
Wear your inside out
Dreaming of mercy
In your daddy(‘s arms again

Dreaming of mercy street
‘swear they moved that sign
Dreaming of mercy
In your daddy’s arms

Peter Gabriel, “Mercy Street”
