Our home is a shambles, all I treasured has gone 
The town seems deserted, everyone's so forlorn 
A storm came from up above but somehow it missed 
The shrine of Saint Cecilia 
The bells in the chapel never ring anymore 
The clock in the steeple can't tell time as before 
But up on the hillside, stands a place heaven blest 
The shrine of Saint Cecilia 
Each day at eventide 
When I seek haven from my daily care 
You'll find me by her side 
It seems so peaceful there 
I kneel in my solitude and silently pray 
That heaven will protect you, dear, and there'll come a 
day 
The storm will be over and that we'll meet again 
At the shrine of Saint Cecilia 
Each day at eventide 
When I seek haven from my daily care 
You'll find me by her side 
It seems so peaceful there 
I kneel in my solitude and silently pray 
That heaven will protect you, dear, and there'll come a 
day 
The storm will be over and that we'll meet again 
At the shrine of Saint Cecilia
