Nanci Griffith - Saint Teresa Of Avila lyrics

(Nanci Griffith - Margaret Mary Graham - Mikki 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 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 to Saint Teresa, "Your patron child is home" (There are lights beyond our woods) Saint Teresa of Avila Discalced de Carmelites (Lights) Saint Teresa of Avila Discalced de Carmelites (Lights)
