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

[Chorus]
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
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
