Well I had a dream the other night
I thought that I saw Jesus in the pale moonlight
But maybe I could be mistaken
He would not smile upon me nor take my hand
Well I stand here all alone deep in the darkness
St. Peter paws the way into the Promised Land
An angel calls my name from deep beneath the earth
Come give to me your soul, I'll tell you what it's worth
I've been a drunken fool, I've broken every rule
I know what seems to be right turns out to be wrong
Don't let my soul go down, oh God I do confess
Don't let me suffer here, the Devil wants my soul
If I could ask of you a simple question
I do not want to bargain or waste your time
I sit here drinking among my fellow men
They all seem happy to me, what is their sin?
There lies a secret pool alive with fish of gold
A serpent hangs above and darts at his tongue
Pray tell me who you are, what is your memory
Don't you know that sinners fear my flickering tongue?
I dreamed that I did drink from the bubbling spring
And all I've ever known I wasn't to forget
