The Bells Of St. Sebastian - Various Artists

I remember St Sebastian

With a memory most unkind

I can hear the bells

I heard when I went there

Inside the church

Inside my mind

The bells of St Sebastian

Only ring once in your ears

But if you're very young

When you hear them

Their sound can last

A hundred years

All but the music of the ringing

Was the music of our singing

When we were singing kyrie eleison

Kyrie eleison kyrie eleison

Each day at lauds

Each day at lauds

Each night at vespers

Each night at vespers

From every tower the

Hour would be tolled

For those of us at St Sebastian

No longer young and not yet old

But why did you go to her

To see what she was like

Each day at St Sebastian

In the classroom we would hear

That devils lurked behind every corner

If you tried to look

They would disappear

The nuns of St Sebastian

Tried to teach the facts of life

Explaining there are two kinds of women

One was a whore

One was a wife

But the music of the ringing

Was a different world

That opened through our singing

When we were singing kyrie eleison

Kyrie eleison kyrie eleison

They rang at dawn they rang at dawn

They rang at midnight

They rang at midnight

In tones well rounded

They sounded down the nave

For all the souls of

Little boys at St Sebastian

Too young to save

Kyrie eleison eleison

Christe eleison eleison

You've brought such shame on us

But mama I didn't know

For lunch at St Sebastian

Country cheese and

Buttered bread

A prayer we never

Learned sung in latin

Then a midday nap

In a makeshift bed

Then the music of the ringing

Then the music of our singing

And we were singing kyrie eleison

Kyrie eleison

We should have known we should

Have known

They should have warned us

Should have warned

At St Sebastian

At st

They never spared the rod

But in the music of the

Bells at St Sebastian

We looked for God

Kyrie ahhh ahhhh

Ahhh
