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
