about

Julian slowly comes to terms with the loss of her child, aided by a beautiful vision given to her.

lyrics

Tread quietly on the stairway
The house is still, the hush so cruel to hear
Empty cot, no child’s cry – what am I to do?
An awful thief has been here

And now I hardly see you
Time takes away your face; your eyes, I lose their sight
The ache, it stays forever, yes I know
And that hardly makes it easier

The day that you were taken
Everything so smashed and sore
Wandering the streets, I walked them endlessly
Tears reached the farthest star, dear

And so it was a vision came
From body gross, I saw a child, she flew
All lily-white and lovely, how she rose!
She glided swift to heaven

Tread quietly on the stairway
I’ve had to cry and let you go, my dear
Let you go and love you so, yes I do
And I find it’s getting easier...it’s somehow getting easier
