He came riding fast like a phoenix out of fire flames
He came dressed in black with a cross bearing my name
He came bathed in light and the splendor and glory
I can't believe what the lord has finally sent me
He said dance for me, fanciulla gentil
He said laugh a while, i can make your heart feel
Cause i've prayed days, i've prayed nights
For the lord just to send me home some sign
My love will stay till the river bed run dry
And my love lasts long as the sunshine blue sky
Cause i've cried days. I've cried nights
For the lord just to send me up some sign
So long day. So long night
Good lord, be near me tonight
