|
| [00:38.18] |
Up those stone steps I climb |
| [00:44.80] |
Hail this joyful day's return |
| [00:51.82] |
Into its great shadowed vault I go |
| [00:58.39] |
Hail the Pentecostal morn |
| [01:07.86] |
The reading is from Luke 24 |
| [01:14.20] |
Where Christ returns to his loved ones |
| [01:21.59] |
I look at the stone apostles |
| [01:28.46] |
Think that it's alright for some |
| [01:36.32] |
And I wish that I was made of stone |
| [01:44.40] |
So that I would not have to see |
| [01:52.39] |
A beauty impossible to define |
| [01:58.08] |
A beauty impossible to believe |
| [02:05.81] |
A beauty impossible to endure |
| [02:14.49] |
The blood imparted in little sips |
| [02:21.36] |
The smell of you still on my hands |
| [02:27.02] |
As I bring the cup up to my lips |
| [02:36.93] |
No God up in the sky |
| [02:44.43] |
No devil beneath the sea |
| [02:52.06] |
Could do the job that you did, baby |
| [02:58.72] |
Of bringing me to my knees |
| [03:07.52] |
Outside I sit on the stone steps |
| [03:14.86] |
With nothing much to do |
| [03:21.96] |
Forlorn and exhausted, baby |
| [03:28.40] |
By the absence of you |
