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
