Amen

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus 1] Mercy, mercy, what else can I say? But amen, amen, amen [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus 1] [Verse 3] I laid down in her garden Naked on her floor Windows up, the curtains blowing She don’t lock the door [Chorus 1] [Verse 4] 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 [Chorus 1]
