Our home is of shambles, all I treasured is 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 bell in the chapel doesn't ring anymore The clock in the steeple don't tell time as before But up by the hillside there's a place, heaven blessed The shrine of Saint Cecilia
Each day at evening time As i see heaven 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 we'll all meet again At the shrine of Saint Cecilia
