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
