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
And 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 this 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 Until 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
