When You Were Mine (An Augustinian Confession)

Verse 1
You have adored me with educing whispers
Allusive thoughts I have struggled to dispel
I’ve surrendered to the euphonic cadence
My soul’s penchant remained unveiled

Verse 2:
Your resolution requires my heart’s intentions
Singing triumphed words and caroled creed
An obsequious promise, once my sole ambition
Is the mournful confession I now concede

Chorus:
Twilight Flickers, Seraphic Serenade
Every time I hear St. Mary’s chime
A reminder of that world of you
A place and time when you were mine

Twilight Flickers, Clouds Collide
Every time I hear St. Mary’s chime
A reminder of that world of you
A place and time when you were mine

Verse 3:
I’ve unknown your grace, its ephemeral twist
To grant a soul staggering, disconcerted and lost
While fleeting questions raise venial sins
You’ve bestowed an abyss that I can’t cross

Chorus:
Twilight Flickers, Seraphic Serenade
Every time I hear St. Mary’s chime
A reminder of that world of you
A place and time when you were mine

Twilight Flickers, Clouds Collide
Every time I hear St. Mary’s chime
A reminder of that world of you
A place and time when you were mine

Bridge:
Through the celestial sufferings I want to conceive
An empyrean transcendence that will make me believe
To resdiscover an ardor desire, avidity and absolute mind
It is your ecumenical love that I'm hoping to find

Chorus:
Twilight Flickers, Seraphic Serenade
Every time I hear St. Mary’s chime
A reminder of that world of you
A place and time when you were mine

Twilight Flickers, Clouds Collide
Every time I hear St. Mary’s chime
A reminder of that world of you
A place and time when you once were mine
