Restless Heart - Dancy's Dream lyrics

rate me

Dancy was a deacon

Every Sunday found him there

At the Lighthouse Gospel Church

With his hands folded in prayer

And standin' right beside him

Was his pretty hometown bride

But no one could have guessed

What he was prayin' deep inside

Dancy has a demon

Livin' Somewhere in his past

That 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

(CHORUS)

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 and leads him back to New Orleans

A good man's goin' crazy somewhere in between

The hymns on Sunday mornin' 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 his secret

No one would understand

She's the only one who's seen

The dark side of the man

(REPEAT CHORUS TWICE)
