I know a little church
Standing lonely on a hillside
It's cross was bent and broken
Scratched and pitted
By the cruel tide
One learning man with one book
Surveys the blue sky
Did the sea banish God
From his town
Chorus
Oh I can hear a sound
A gentle sound it's
All around me
It takes me up and down
All around me
I know a little girl
Standing lonely by the quayside
Her hair was long and brown
It came right down
All around her
All love fights
Hate in her looks
And in her sighs
Still this girl
Could Banish all
But her heart
