lyrics

Woke up in the night
You ain't feelin' right
You said "Honey, you oughta know
We are not alone"
Not alone, not alone, we are not alone
Not alone, not alone, we are not alone

Took me by the hand,
You said "You know you are my man"
But when your belly it did show
My eyes turned to stone
Turned to stone, turned to stone, my eyes turned to stone
Turned to stone, turned to stone, my eyes turned to stone

But you had the strangest dream
You had the strangest dream

The bile in my throat
The burning in my eyes
I pushed them both aside
I had to decide

To let you go out in the night
To bear the shame alone and quiet
Peace be mine, a mourning dove
I'd spare your life for love

Then I had the strangest dream
I had the strangest dream

Do not, do not, do not, do not be afraid
To take her as your wife
Do not, do not, do not, do not be afraid
To take her as your wife
For that which is conceived in her
That which is conceived in her
Is from the Holy
For that which is conceived in her
That which is conceived in her
Is from the Holy
