Faron Young – The Shrine Of Saint Cecilia lyrics

Composer(s) – Pern Jokern and Carroll Loveday

Our home is in shambles
All I've 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 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 blessed
The Shrine of Saint Cecilia

Each day at even tide
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 even tide
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
