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
