The Shrine Of St. Cecilia - The Harptones

Our home is of shambles, all I treasured is gone

The town seems deserted, everyone’s so forlorn

A storm came from up above, but somehow it missed

The shrine of Saint Cecilia

The bell in the chapel doesn’t ring anymore

The clock in the steeple don’t tell time as before

But up by the hillside there’s a place, heaven blessed

The shrine of Saint Cecilia

Each day at evening time

As i see heaven 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 we’ll all meet again

At the shrine of Saint Cecilia

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 we’ll all meet again

At the shrine of Saint Cecilia
