Saint Cecilia - Holding Absence

The perfect cadence that I wish I could complete

You take me by surprise and sweep me off my feet

I’ve spent a lifetime thinking you and I should meet

You’re in my eye line every time I dream

Here’s the thing… You make my heart sing

Cecilia, I’ve lost your love

I’ve given up, I’ve had enough

Saint Cecilia, I tried my best but in the end nothing ever was enough

I’ve given up

Nowadays, I am nailed to your stave

I used to sleep for days — now I’m wide awake

What is there for you to do

When the thing that you live for is dying beside you?

That’s the thing — You break my heartstrings

Cecilia, I’ve lost your love

I’ve given up, I’ve had enough

Saint Cecilia, I tried my best but in the end nothing ever was enough

I’ve given up

Here’s the thing…

I tried my best but in the end nothing ever was enough

I’ve given up

Saint Cecilia, I tried my best but in the end nothing ever was enough

I’ve given up
