"Mercy Street" is a song written by the English rock musician Peter Gabriel from his fifth studio album So (1986). Development on the song began a few years prior to the recording sessions for So and began with some percussion tracks recorded by Djalma Corrêa in Brazil. Lyrically, the song is based on the literary works of Anne Sexton. A music video was created for "Mercy Street", which was directed by Matt Mahurin and shot in black-and-white.
