lyrics

7 Sorrows of Stephen (c) & (p) 2016 Ian Roure

And we meet up once again
As the dusk descends
You plot your escape
Though there is no light
To shine ‘round the bend

But you must try anyway
The sorrow suffocates
To draw a free breath
Must seem like it’s worth
The risk that you take

Bring Southern Wood, Sweet Cicely
Is it Mars or Mercury?

Cut the Quicksilver loose
And cast away
The 7 Sorrows of Stephen

And do you feel much better?
Not just another blue straggler
And do you feel much better?
Better…

And we meet up once again
The sorrow never ends
You plot your escape
Though there’s still no light
To shine ‘round the bend

But you must try any way
The sorrow suffocates
To draw a free breath
Must seem like it’s worth
The risk that you take

Bring Juniper, Spring Savoury
Is it Mars or Mercury?

Now the Quicksilver’s loose
What will break
The 7 Sorrows of Stephen?
