Verse
F A#
Last night I had a dream
F A#
The dream I had was true
F A#
I fell through the stars
F A#
Went walking on the moon
Dm A# C
Burned like a thousand candles in her arms
F A#
The skin under my finger tips
F A#
Honeysuckle of her lips
F A# Dm
Sweeter than a man deserves to taste
[Chorus 1]
A# C
Mercy, mercy, what else can I say?
F A# F A# F A#
But Amen. Amen Amen
[Verse 2]
F A#
Last night we were born together
F A#
It was like we'd always been
F A#
She'll be with me forever
F A#
If I don't see her again
Dm A# C
We poured the wine until our cup ran over
F A#
Unfolding like the mystery
F A#
Inside of her like poetry
F A# Dm
D thousand horses running through my veins
[Chorus 1]
A# C
Mercy, mercy what else can I say
F A# F A# F A#
But Amen. Amen Amen
[Verse 3]
Dm A#
I laid down in her garden
Dm A#
Naked on her floor
Dm A#
Windows up, the curtains blowing
Dm A#
She don't lock the door
[Bridge]
Dm A# F C Dm A# F C
Amen, Amen
[Verse 4]
F A#
At the banquet table
F A#
D beggar at a feast
F A#
I felt her tongue between my lips
F A#
And I forgot to breath
Dm A# C
We stayed there 'til the candles burned the carpet
F A#
Last night I had a dream
F A#
The dream I had was true
[Chorus/Outro]
F A# Dm
Mercy, mercy, what else can I say
A# C
Mercy, mercy, I’ll kneel down and pray
F A# F A#
Amen, Amen
Dm A# F C Dm A# F C
Amen, Amen
