The Shrine Of St. Cecilia
(Pern Jokern / Carroll Loveday)

 

Our home is a shambles, all I treasured has 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 bells in the chapel never ring anymore

The clock in the steeple can't tell time as before

But up on the hillside, stands a place heaven blest

The shrine of Saint Cecilia

 

Each day at eventide

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

 

Each day at eventide

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
