about

For a short while I met with a songwriters group. Our task was to write a song featuring bells, and this was my effort.

lyrics

It seems so long ago since we would play
Bathed in Summer's golden evening warmth
And the village church bells idle conversations
Mingled with our laughter and our songs

And the meadow was a living sea of colour
And the grasses tall as houses to our eyes
There were butterflies and larks and hidden places
And that old oak tree, our ladder to the skies

Your hair was like the sunshine your laughter birds in flight
And we would be together forever and a night
Forever and and a night

That bud of childhood dreaming swelled and bloomed here
The fruits of love were ours to taste each day
And every brook and river sang a love song
And still I hear their sweet refrain today

Your hair....

Now age has bent its leaden arm around me
Forever and that night have come and gone
And though the church bell's conversations long have faded
The fields and streams are whispering our song

Your hair....
