Artist: Restless Heart Album: Greatest Hits (1998) Title: Dancy's Dream
Lyrics Dancy's DreamDancy was a Deacon, Every Sunday found him there At the Lighthouse Gospel Church With his hands folded in prayer And standing right beside him was His pretty hometown bride But nobody could have guessed what he Was praying deep inside
Dancy has a demon living Somewhere in his past A dark-haired cajun angel was The devil dressed in black Was it really voodoo? Or just weakness in the man The only time he ever fell Was when she took his hand
Oh it's been so long, But it's still so strong Every night the devil comes And walks through Dancy's dream She takes him by the hand Leads him back to New Orleans The good man's going crazy Somewhere in between The hymns on Sunday morning And the sins in Dancy's Dream
Sometimes it's almost like He was never even there But other times he swears he smells The flowers in her hair He never told the secret No one would understand She's the only one who's seen The dark side in the man
[chorus]
[piano interlude]
Oh it's been so long, but it's still so strong
[chorus]
Oh, the sins in Dancy's Dream |
