I know a little church standing lonely on a hillside Its frame was bent and broken Scratched and pitted by the cruel tide One learned man with a book Surveys the blue sky Could the sea banish God from the Town? I can hear the sound A gentle sound Its all around me Takes me up and down All around me I know a little girl she's standing lonely on the quayside Her hair so long and brown Came right down all around her Love fights hate in her looks And in her sighs Still the girl could banish all except her heart I can hear the sound A gentle sound Its all around me Takes me up and down All around me
