Amen
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.
