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 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 Amen Amen Amen
