"Dancy's Dream" Lyrics

Dancy 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
