Mercy Street (6:18)

Cover of So

From So and 41 other releases

This song could be interpreted in a variety of ways. Is someone looking for literal mercy? Are they desperate for human contact? Are they searching for forgiveness? The track’s mood is somber and desperate.

It was inspired by the poetry of Anne Sexton and she is mentioned in the last verse, being in a metaphorical boat “riding the waves on the sea”
