Christchurch Bells Lyrics - Hothouse Flowers: The Platinum Collection - Hothouse Flowers

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 the Christchurch bells 

As the hours turn, you can hear them 

They'll be ringing time 

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 

He keeps on moving on this lonely road from hell 

Asking for forgiveness underneath Christchurch bells 

As the hours turn, you can hear them 

They'll be ringing time 

Still the hours turn, you can hear them 

As the time goes by, go by 

Sunsets over the city, clouds are rising 

And you can see clear up to the night time sky 

And if you're feeling precious, you want to do well 

Think of others, ask for a prayer underneath Christchurch bells 

As the hours turn, you can hear them 

They'll be ringing time 

Still the hours turn, you can hear them 

As the time goes by, go by 

You can hear them and they're ringing 

As the time goes by
