Vienna Teng - St. Stephen's Cross lyrics

rate me

<BR>

He was there the night the wall came down.<br>

He lost her in the endless crowd,<br>

In the shadow of St. Stephen's cross.<br>

He sent cries aloft for his fellow man,<br>

His fingers slipping from her hand,<br>

The rain clouds prowling overhead.<br>

<br>

She was there the night the wall came down.<br>

She faded into that newborn crowd<br>

Like a warning of what could be lost.<br>

Through the perforated night she ran,<br>

Her fingers slipping from his hand,<br>

And she breathed in freedom<br>

Before daylight tread.<br>

<br>

They were there the night the wall was drowned<br>

In the surging of that tidal crowd:<br>

An old world made new<br>

On the same holy ground.<br>

She found him standing, looking lost<br>

In the shadow of St. Stephen's cross,<br>

And he closed his eyes and heard no sound<br>

But her breathing warm against his mouth.<br>

<BR><BR>
