Lyrics The Shrine Of St. Cecilia - The Harptones

The Shrine Of St. Cecilia

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
