From the recording The Madonnas are Weeping

Lyrics

The Madonnas are Weeping
 
Do you hear the tower ticking? Do you see the hour passing?
All over the world, all over the world, the madonnas are weeping
Rosaried ladies make their pilgrimage
Praying for those who have no one to pray for them
All over the world, all over the world, palms open like flowers
 
Sleeping bradapods, sustain us in dream
Thirteen holy men spinning the world ‘round
Every hair on your head is counted
One by one by one by one
Every hair on your head is counted
One by one by one by one
 
Can you hear the spheres singing? Like silver bells in God’s hands ringing?
All over the world, all over the world, Love’s longing her children home
 
Every hair on your head is counted
One by one by one by one
Every hair on your head is counted
One by one by one by one
