I watch her walk before me

her children in her arms

the proof of all her choices

I see the weight in her eyes

she's learned to talk to angels

that's how she survives

they come to her at night


oh saint teresa

I know you're tired

so lay with me and rest a while


there's no way for me to love her

there's no way for me to stop

so I wait the night to meet her

in a dream that I have lost

I watch her walk before me

she leaves me with a smile

and I'm frozen by the spirit

by the light in her eyes


oh saint teresa

I know you're tired

so lay with me and rest a while
