Bells of 59

One afternoon I heard a sound coming down,
Coming down, coming down to the ground.
(Come down)
And when it came it took a piece of me away,
It took away, took away, took away.
(Come down)

So coming down, coming down, coming down,
There's a sound, there's a sound coming down,
And in the night, in the night at first sight,
Come the bells of 59.

Now in my soul there's a song I sing out.
I sing it out, sing it out, sing it out.
(Sing out)
And to the beat I feel my heart beat,
And then I breathe, then I breathe, now I breathe.
(Breathe out)

So coming down, coming down, coming down,
There's a sound, there's a sound coming down,
And in the night, in the night at first sight,
Come the bells of 59.

If one day I cannot make it home,
Then let me go, let me go, let me go.
(Let go)
And in my bones I can feel the bells low,
Singing low, singing low, feel my soul.
(Sing low)

So coming down, coming down, coming down,
There's a sound, there's a sound coming down,
And in the night, in the night at first sight,
Come the bells of 59.
