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
