I

It's been a long day coming

Seems like it'll go on

Your window is open to the night and

Your coffee's still warm

You're feeling good now -- looking well,

Being soothed by the sound of Christchurch Bells

As the hours turn -- you can hear them -- they'll be ringing time



II

John he lives in this town

Repairs old watches and clocks

They don't give him much time no he doesn't know

What's gone wrong

But he keeps on moving on this lonely road from Hell

Asking for forgiveness under Christchurch Bells



Chorus:

Sunsets over the city -- clouds are rising

And you can see clear up to the night time sky

So if you're feeling precious -- you want to do well

Think of others ask for a prayer underneath

Christchurch Bells
