St. Clare Lyrics

and the candle that burns

keeping her safe

until her return

plaster and paint

holding the fire

a poor woman's saint

holding all man's desire

bold little bird

fly away home

could I but ride herd

on the wind and the foam

all of the souls

that curl by the fire

they never know
Suzanne Vega - St. Clare - http://motolyrics.com/suzanne-vega/st-clare-lyrics.html
all man's desire

watercress clings

to the banks of the stream

in the first grip of spring

when the snow melts to green

barefoot and cold

and holding a lyre

by the side of the road

holding all man's desire

call on the saint

when the white candle burns

keeping her safe

until her return

Suzanne Vega St. Clare
