For anne sexton<br><br>Looking down on empty streets, all she can see<br>Are the dreams all made solid<br>Are the dreams all made real<br><br>All of the buildings, all of those cars<br>Were once just a dream<br>In somebody's head<br><br>She pictures the broken glass, she pictures the steam<br>She pictures a soul<br>With no leak at the seam<br><br>Lets take the boat out<br>Wait until darkness<br>Let's take the boat out<br>Wait until darkness comes<br><br>Nowhere in the corridors of pale green and grey<br>Nowhere in the suburbs<br>In the cold light of day<br><br>There in the midst of it so alive and alone<br>Words support like bone<br><br>Dreaming of mercy st.<br>Wear your inside out<br>Dreaming of mercy<br>In your daddy('s arms again<br>Dreaming of mercy st.<br>'swear they moved that sign<br>Dreaming of mercy<br>In your daddy's arms<br><br>Pulling out the papers from the drawers that slide smooth<br>Tugging at the darkness, word upon word<br><br>Confessing all the secret things in the warm velvet box<br>To the priest-he's the doctor<br>He can handle the shocks<br><br>Dreaming of the tenderness-the tremble in the hips<br>Of kissing mary's lips<br><br>Dreaming of mercy st.<br>Wear your insides out<br>Dreaming of mercy<br>In your daddy's arms again<br>Dreaming of mercy st.<br>'swear they moved that sign<br>Looking for mercy<br>In your daddy's arms<br><br>Mercy, mercy, looking for mercy<br>Mercy, mercy, looking for mercy<br><br>Anne, with her father is out in the boat<br>Riding the water<br>Riding the waves on the sea
