Golden Bells Lyrics - Deacon Blue

Well the choirs were singing and the candles they were burning 

And the lantern girls and alter boys were crossed and cleaned 

And my baby and me watched the prayers go higher and higher 

As we sadly, slowly, surely took our leave 

We're crying now 

We we're crying then 

Hearing golden bells 

So we walked the long mile from the chapel gates 

And I felt her warm in my hand as the wind drew us faster 

We had no names or flowers in the churchyard 

No cards or pity just a childlike space in our hearts 

We're crying now 

We we're crying then 

Hearing golden bells
