  • Oh, Cecilia, comfort me
    My bones are tired, my flesh is weak
    My ears are ringing, or is that you singing
    Oh, Cecilia, comfort me

    Oh, lover you?ll never know
    The tragic loneliness when you go
    My heart is beating please tell me you need me
    Oh, lover you?ll never know

    Be my fire be my song
    When I?m tired and all alone
    Be my light be my love
    When I?m not strong enough

    Oh, sister it?s been so long
    Since you wooed me with your song
    I?m getting dizzy, please tell me you miss me
    Oh, sister it?s been so long

    Be my fire be my song
    When I?m tired and all alone
    Be my light be my love
    When I?m not strong enough
    I keep your name on my lips
    Until I?m in your grace again
    Until you shine mercy on
    To your lost and lonely son
