Oh bell tower drumming
right into my skull
I can hardly hear that gong
yet I know you quite well
Not yet the one who'll insight the fear
in my heart
Not yet the one who'll grow dear
to my flickering temper, that bittersweet ember
That sighs and that moans
Before the whistles and howls
I long to hear
Oh little bell tower sing
Belt away
For your call echoes long
And it snatches the night
And it catches a moment long gone
Oh little bell tower sing
You're our centre who calls us
Sent to remind us
To heed and to hide us
From the past that can claim us
And the ghosts, they will tame us
Oh little bell tower sing
To remind us the night is surely gone nigh
Lets surrender our wild distant cousins
Longing to touch that great vastness
Leaving behind them only remnants
Of a dreamy dust settled sigh
