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
