talis kimberley - a prayer for santa lucia lyrics
[intro (speaking softly):]
she dreams of saints in coloured windows
altars dressed with gilded lilies
dreams of saints with kindly faces
singing kyrie eleison
dreams of saints in sacred gardens
and lucy’s flower has eyes for petals
[verse, singing:]
she is hiding joy inside her
for now she’s telling no-one
she goes about her business
and her thoughts are full of someone
and she prays to santa lucia
for the saint was always gentle
and she tells her body’s secrets
and she lights a hopeful candle with a prayer…
lucy’s flower has eyes for petals
oh, with a prayer…
lucy’s flower has eyes…
[verse:]
she remembers all the phrases
that he used on her so sweetly
and she cherishes the echo
of his hands upon her body
and she shuts her eyes to conjure him
imagines he’s beside her
and she whispers words forbidden
and her blood turns fire within her at his name…
[chorus:]
and she cries, “you know i’m drowning
in his eyes and in his promise”
and she dreams that santa lucia gives her water from a chalice
saying “drink deep if you want to, daughter – don’t be scared to taste it”
drink deep if you want to, daughter
and she really thinks she loves him, and her head’s so full of music
drink deep if you want to, daughter
[chorus:]
and she cries “you know i’m drowning
she dreams of saints
in his eyes and in his promise”
she dreams of saints
and she dreams that santa lucia gives her water from a chalice
she dreams of saints, she dreams of saints
saying “drink deep if you want to, daughter, don’t be scared to taste it”
drink deep if you want to, daughter
and she really thinks she loves him, and her head’s so full of music
drink deep if you want to, daughter
that she sings –
…if you want to, daughter…
and what she sings…
[outro:]
she cherishes the echo of his hands upon her body
and her heart and breathing quicken, santa lucia knows she’s ready
for his kiss…
[whispering:] she dreams of saints in coloured windows, altars dressed with gilded lilies
ready for his kiss…
dreams of saints with kindly faces singing “kyrie eleison”
dreams of saints in sacred gardens
and lucy’s flower has eyes for petals
