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



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 breathe

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.



Amen, amen... amen...
