I have been staggering
Ever since the shot in Rome
On wednesday May 13th, 1981
[Verse 2]
The golden ball saw it all
Down through the ages
In childbed and deathbead
[Pre-Chorus]
Flooded with light
The Daughters of the Church
[Chorus]
St. Teresa of Ávila
St. Teresa of Lisieux
[Verse 3]
They were rewarded by God
For loving him
They knew the forms
Of the transverberation
[Verse 4]
A spiritual wounding of the heart
In the form of a mystical vision
A physical wounding of the heart
By a dart or a flame of love
[Chorus] (x2)
St. Teresa of Ávila
St. Teresa of Lisieux
