Brompton Oratory |
| Up those stone steps I climb |
| Hail this joyful day’s return |
| Into it’s great shadowed vault I go Hail the pentecostal morn |
| The reading is from luke 24 |
| Where christ returns to his loved ones |
| I look at the stone apostles |
| Think that it’s alright for some |
| And I wish that I was made of stone |
| So that I would not have to see |
| A beauty impossible to define |
| A beauty impossible to believe |
| A beauty impossible to endure |
| The blood imparted in little sips |
| The smell of you still on my hands |
| As I bring the cup up to my lips |
| No God up in the sky |
| No devil beneath the sea |
| Could do the job that you did, baby |
| Of bringing me to my knees |
| Outside I sit on the stone steps |
| With nothing much to do Forlorn and exhausted, baby |
| By the absence of you |
