Lo and Behold Songtext
von Duncan Sheik

Simeon
He was a man
Held his heart out
In his hand
A hollow land
Of autumn breeze
Evenings in the brittle rain
Leaves that fill the barren plain
With simple pain
And broideries
In the temple
Yesterday
Was a man who came to pray
Who couldn′t stay
And couldn't leave
So he fell down
On his knees
Sued for grace
Sued for peace
A little ease


And not to grieve
Mary Hahn
She met a man
Took her to
Jerusalem
To take a stand
Escape a scene
To wander in
The honey sea
Drink the milk of
Memory
Never be
Herself again
In the temple
Yesterday
Was a woman, came to pray
Couldn′t say
And couldn't see
So she fell down
On her knees
Sued for grace
Sued for peace
Sued the priest
To set her free
Lo, lo and behold
Lo, lo and behold
Lo, lo and behold
Lo, behold
