Church Bell

[Chorus]
There’s a church down the hill from me
There’s a church up the hill from you
We can both hear that old bell ring
It’s calling me to worship you

[Verse 1]
I remember meeting you there
On the steps in my Sunday best
My father’s hand on my shoulder
We couldn’t talk for much longer

[Verse 2]
You test my conviction (Hm)
I crave your attention (Hm)
Secret meetings, half truths (Hm)
Stolen kisses, sweet youth (Hm)

[Chorus]
There’s a church down the hill from me
There’s a church up the hill from you
We can both hear that old bell ring
It’s calling me to worship you

[Verse 3]
Therе’s a light at the end of my street
When that bеll chimes at midnight we meet
We dream of living freely one day
Cherishing our brief escape

[Verse 4]
If they only knew (Hm)
Those suitors will pursue you (Hm)
The vows are made at sunrise (Hm)
Kissing as the doves cry

[Chorus]
‘Cause there’s a church down the hill from me
There’s a church up the hill from you (Ooh)

[Bridge]
Call me to pray
‘Cause for you I’ll get down on my knees
Promise to take me where we can be free

[Chorus]
There’s a church down the hill from me
There’s a church down the hill from you
We can both hear that old bell ring
Now I get to worship you

[Chorus]
There’s a church down the hill from me
Oh, there’s a church down the hill from you
We can both hear that old bell ring
Now I get to worship you
