DUNCAN SHEIK - Lo And Behold lyrics

rate me

Simeon, he was a man

Held his heart out in his hand

A hollow land of autumn breeze

Evenings in the brittle rain

Leaves that fill the barren plain

With simple pain embroideries

In the temple yesterday

Was a man, who came to pray

Who couldn't stay and couldn't leave

So, he feel down on his knees

Sued for grace and sued for peace

A little ease, and not to grieve

Marion, she met a man

Took her to Jerusalem

To take a stand, escape a scene

To wander in the honey sea

Drink the milk of Memory

And never be herself again

In the temple yesterday

Was a woman came to pray

Who couldn't say, and couldn't see

So, she fell down on her knees

Sued for grace and sued for peace

Sued the priest to set her free

Lo, lo and behold

Lo, lo and behold
