Answer
Hello David,

That's the Restless Heart song "Dancy's Dream".

Dancy was a deacon, every Sunday found him there
At the Lighthouse Gospel Church with his hands folded in prayer
An' 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
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 felt was when she took his hand

Oh, its been so long, but its 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
The good man's goin' crazy somewhere in between,
The hymns on Sunday morning
And the sins in Dancy's dreams

Sometimes it's almost like he was never even there
And 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 of that man

Oh, its been so long, but its 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
The good man's goin' crazy somewhere in between
The hymns on Sunday morning
And the sins in Dancy's dreams

(Instrumental Break)

Oh, its been so long, but its 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
The good man's goin' crazy somewhere in between
The hymns on Sunday morning
And the sins in Dancy's dreams
Oh, the sins in Dancy's dreams


Glad to be of help. Cheers........Mel.
