Lyrics

[Verse 1] Last night, I had a dream The dream I had was true I fell through the stars Went walkin' on the moon Burned like a thousand candles in her arms [Pre-Chorus] Her skin under my fingertips The honeysuckle on her lips Sweeter than a man deserves to taste [Chorus] 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'd pour the wine until our cup ran over [Pre-Chorus] Unfoldin' like a mystery Inside of her like poetry A thousand horses runnin' through my veins [Chorus] Mercy, mercy, what else can I say? Amen Amen Amen [Bridge] I laid down in her garden Naked on her floor Windows up, the curtains blowin' She don't lock the door Amen Amen [Verse 4] 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 [Pre-Chorus] Last night, I had a dream The dream I had was true [Chorus] Mercy, mercy, what else can I say? Mercy, mercy, I laid down and prayed Amen Amen Amen
