Saint Teresa of Avila (Album Version)

Saint Teresa of Avila (Album Version) - Nanci Griffith

Saint Teresa

Your patron child's come home

Were you there to greet her

Did your angels know her songs

And all her sorrows

Did you lift them from her brow

Did you kiss her hand that took her soul

Back up to you

Our patron saint of harmony and vow

Help me in this stillness

Tell me things I need to know

How we loved your patron child

We say so long

And so long ago

Saint Teresa

Can you speak to me at all

Ah from here where will we go

Saint Teresa

Saint Teresa

She was our sister of arms

Gone now the trio

To our Lady Kate and John

And fare to fare

Of the tears that cannot fall

We send this melody

Please help her sing along

Back up to you

Our patron saint of harmony and song

Help me in this stillness

Tell me things I need to know

How we loved your patron child

We say so long

And so long ago

Saint Teresa

Can you speak to me at all

Ah from here where will we go

Saint Teresa

Back up to her patron saint

Beyond our wood those lights

Saint Teresa of Avila

Discalced de carmelites

Back up to her patron saint

Beyond our wood those lights

Saint Teresa of Avila

Discalced de carmelites

Saint Cecilia

Saint Teresa

Your patron child is home

There are lights beyond our woods

Saint Teresa of Avila

Discalced de carmelites

Saint Teresa of Avila

Discalced de carmelites
