Amen

Last night I had a dream

The dream I had was true

I fell through the stars

Went walking on the moon

Burned like a thousand candles in her arms

The skin under my finger tips

Honeysuckle on her lips

Sweeter than a man deserves to taste

Mercy, mercy, what else can I say?

But 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 the mystery

Inside of her like poetry

A thousand horses running through my veins

Mercy, mercy what else can I say

But 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 her 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 laid down and prayed.
