Last night I had a dream The dream I had was true I fell through the stars When walking on the moon Burned like a thousand candles in her arms
Her skin under my finger tips The honeysuckle on her lips Sweeter than a man deserves to taste Mercy, mercy, what else can I say?
But amen, amen, amen
Last night we were born together It was like we’d always been She’ll be with me forever If I don’t see her again We poured the wine until our cup ran over
Unfolding like a mystery Inside of her like poetry A thousand horses running through my veins Mercy, mercy what else can I say
Amen, amen, amen
I laid down in her garden Naked on her floor Windows up, the curtains blowing She don’t lock the door
Amen, amen
At the banquet table A beggar at a feast I felt her tongue between my lips And I forgot to breath We stayed there ‘til the candles burned the carpet
Last night I had a dream The dream I had was true Mercy, mercy, what else can I say Mercy, mercy, I kneeled down and prayed
