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 embroideries   In the temple yesterday   Was a man, who came to pray   Who couldn't stay and couldn't leave      So, he feel 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
