lyrics

Lyrics:
Bells are ringing in the churchyard,
Who knows why they ring today?
Are the angels bringing us sunshine,
To drive the darkness away?

Bells are ringing in the churchyard,
Who knows why they ring today?
Are the angels bringing us sunshine,
To drive the darkness away?

Oh young girl, why do you weep?
Oh young boy, why do you weep?
Heard her Daddy turned cold and forever he will sleep,
Then the Father took his soul that forever he will keep.

Bells are ringing in the churchyard,
Who knows why they ring today?
Are the angels giving us sunshine,
To wash the darkness away?

Oh young boy, why do you lie?
Oh young girl, why do you lie?
Heard your daddy sent your mumma far into the sky,
Very soon he’ll stare his maker in the eye.

Oh young girl, what do you say?
Oh young boy, what do you say?
Heard her daddy lay down for the last time yesterday,
You’ve got your freedom, time to walk the other way.

Bells are ringing in the churchyard,
Who knows why they ring today?
Are the angels giving us sunshine,
To drive the darkness away?

Wedding bells are ringing in the churchyard,
We know why they ring today,
We gave those angels sunshine,
And drove their demon away.
