Lyrics - Brompton Oratory by Cave Nick

Up those stone steps
I climb
Hail this joyful day's return
Into its great shadowed vault
I go
Hail the
Pentecostal morn
The reading is from
Luke 24
Where
Christ returns to his loved ones
I look at the stone apostles
Think taht it's alright for some
And
I wish that
I was made of stone
So that
I would not have to see
A beauty impossible to define
A beauty impossible to believe
A beauty impossible to endure
The blood imparted in little steps
The smell of you still on my hands
As
I bring the cup up to my lips
No
God up in the sky
No devil beneath the sea
Could do the job what you did
Of bringing me to my knees
Outside
I sit on the stone steps
With nothing much to do
Forlorn and exhausted, baby
By the absence of you
