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
