Amen
Last night I had a dreamThe dream I had was trueI fell through the starsWent walking on the moonBurned like a thousand candles in her arms
The skin under my finger tipsHoneysuckle on her lipsSweeter than a man deserves to tasteMercy, mercy, what else can I say?
But Amen. Amen
Last night we were born togetherIt was like we’d always beenShe’ll be with me foreverIf I don’t see her againWe poured the wine until our cup ran over
Unfolding like the mysteryInside of her like poetryA thousand horses running through my veinsMercy, mercy what else can I say
But Amen, Amen
I laid down in her gardenNaked on her floorWindows up, the curtains blowingShe don’t lock the door
Amen, Amen
At the banquet tableA beggar at a feastI felt her tongue between her lipsAnd I forgot to breathWe stayed there ‘til the candles burned the carpet
Last night I had a dreamThe dream I had was trueMercy, mercy, what else can I sayMercy, mercy, I laid down and prayed
