Duncan Sheik - Lo and Behold lyrics

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 embroideries 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 and sued for peace, A little ease, and not to grieve Marion, 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, And never be herself again. In the temple yesterday, Was a woman came to pray Who couldn't say, and couldn't see. So, she fell down on her knees, Sued for grace and sued for peace, Sued the priest, to set her free. Lo, lo and behold Lo, lo and behold
