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 |
