Dancys Dream

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 Its been so long, but its still so strong
Every night the devil comes and walks through
Dancys dream
She takes him by the hand and leads him back to
New Orleans
A good mans goin crazy somewhere in between
The hymns on
Sunday mornin and the sins in
Dancys dream
Sometimes its 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
Shes the only one whos seen
The dark side of the man (REPEAT CHORUS TWICE)
