From the recording Down in the Den
Lyrics
Oh, Saint Severin
Gordy Quist and Ted
Just past the bookstore on the corner
Hidden away off Saint Michel
A street sign in the Latin Quarter
Saint Severin Cathedral ring your bell
I'm half the world from where I should be
My feet are tired as I am blue
Longing for my home and family
I need someone to talk to someone to pull me through
Oh, Saint Severin I'm 5000 miles from home
Oh, Saint Severin How'd I get so all alone
Oh, Saint Severin I got a traveler's prayer for you
Oh, Saint Severin Shine a light and see me through
Each lonely taxi on a tarmac
each ballad in each sad cafe
Too many miles of two lane black top
I need a friend to find me and help me find the way
Ch
These stone walls have felt the weight of a thousand years
countless wishes fill the well with a million tears
I'm weary from the wandering
always being where I've never been
At the end of every journey is a song
but it's been too long
Ch
