The Bells Are Ringing

Our home is a shambles
 All I've treasured is gone
 The town seemed deserted
 Everyone so forlorn
 A storm came from up above
 But somehow it missed
 The shrine of Saint Cecilia

 The bells in the chapel
 Never ring any more
 The clock in the steeple
 Can't tell time as before
 But up on a hillside
 Stands a place heaven blessed
 The shrine of Saint Cecilia

 Each day at even tide
 When I seek haven 
 From my daily care
 You'll find me by her side
 It seems so peaceful there

 I kneel in my solitude
 And silently pray
 That heaven will protect you dear
 And there'll come a day
 The storm will be over 
 And that we'll meet again
 At the shrine of Saint Cecilia

 The storm will be over
 And that we'll meet again
 At the shrine of Saint Cecilia...
