"Those Distant Bells" lyrics

"Those Distant Bells"

The car crunches gravel and the wind licks at you
This dark spell you're under has you dumbstruck by the gate
It hurts every muscle just to walk back to the house
Now this home that you both made, it looks haunted from the yard

You can hear those distant bells and you know they'll never leave
It's like your church is crying out, like the wolf calls to her young

And the dark never enters but it also never leaves
And the spark that he gave you is just an ember all but out
If he'd one eye on the exit, oh you never would have known
Till he drove off in the darkness like some slowly fading song

You can hear those distant bells and you know they'll never leave
It's like your church is crying out, like the wolf calls to her young
You can hear those distant bells and you know they'll never leave
It's like your church is crying out, like the wolf calls to her young
