By The Lights Of St. Stephen

(앨범: O Come All Ye Faithful - 2021)

Joy and love and peace are here in this place
By your leave I will sing of the season
Christmas is past, Twelvetide is upon us
Winter was hard beyond reason
By the lights of St. Stephen

The king was well-dressed in the silks of the best
With his ribbons so gallantly streaming
And lo, thought he heard that lonesome little bird
My god, Virginny's song is so pleasing
By the lights of St. Stephen

Is it a shadow, you're lost alone and only hide from your demons
But the shadow was dark so long and only a matter I see it
A little light was all we needed

Captain he heard that noble king's word
He gathered his men for the doing
Gathered in green, a true rainbow of green
Well Ginny cried out, "Why must you do it?"
St. Stephen, I knew it

Is it a shadow, you're lost alone and only hide from your demons
But the shadow was dark so long and only a matter I see it
A little light was all we needed

At the end of the day, on the ground where she lay
Ginny sang a song of redemption
Joy and love and peace, from the first to the least
If I was only a season
Well St. Stephen's a reason
