Letras: Nanci Griffith. Blue Roses From The Moons. Saint Teresa Of Avila.

(By Nanci Griffith, Margaret Mary Graham & Mikki Griffith)

Saint teresa, your patron childs come home
Were you there to greet her?
Did your angels know her songs?
And all of her sorrows
Did you lift them from her brow
Did you kiss her hand that took her soul
Back up to you... our patron saint
Of harmony and vow

[Chorus:]
Help me in this stillness
Tell me things I need to know
How we loved your patron child
We say, so long... and so along ago
Saint Teresa
Can you speak to me at all
Ah, from here where will we go
Saint teresa

Saint teresa, she was our sister of arms
Gone now the trio
To our lady, kate, and john
And fare to fare
Of the tears that cannot fall
We send this melody please help her sing along
Back up to our patron saint
Of harmony and song

Back up to her patron saint
Beyond our wood those lights
Saint Teresa of avila
Discalced De Carmelites
Back up to her patron saint
Beyond our wood those lights
Saint Teresa of Avila
Descalced De Carmelites
Saint Cecila to Saint Teresa,
"Your patron child is home"
(There are lights beyond these woods)
Repeat Saint Teresa of Avila...
Discalced De Carmelites
(lights)
