brown bird - the old church bell كلمات الأغنية

[verse 1]
in the year eighteen and sixty_five
on the banks of the tiverton bay
not a cry of joy for the christmas boy
would be heard from many miles away

a farmer there had a daughter fair
with eyes like a wild ice storm
she was courted long by a sailor strong
who was comin’ home from ’round cape h_rn

[chorus]
and the wind did moan and the trees did groan
on the banks of the tiverton bay
and the white sky fell on the old church bell
never tolled out christmas day

[verse 2]
the farmer girl stayed pure as snow
from the day her beau did go
until three years passed and she looked at last
to a bulge in her belly did show

the townsfolk all did gather ’round
to see what she had gained
for till that day she’d sworn and prayed
a virgin she’d remain
[instrumental]

[verse 3]
she waited for her sailor boy
and now with child was she
she wept and thanked the lord above
a miracle this must be

twas christmas eve when word did reach
her lover out at sea
the note did tell of a savior child
would be born to his love and he

[chorus]
and the wind did moan and the trees did groan
on the banks of the tiverton bay
and the white sky fell on the old church bell
never tolled out christmas day

[verse 4]
the sailor was beside himself
when land his ship did make
he thought the tale to be untrue
and swore her life to take

the girl was overcome with joy
when through the door he came
but no words did she utter then
in an instant she was slain
[chorus]
and the wind did moan and the trees did groan
on the banks of the tiverton bay
and the white sky fell on the old church bell
never tolled out christmas day

[verse 4]
for three long years her sailor love
had journeyed sea and shore
and kept her thought inside his breast
twas she he did adore

he’d thought that when he did return
her lily white hand he’d take
but marriage to a promiscuous girl
would be a dire mistake

[chorus]
and the wind did moan and the trees did groan
on the banks of the tiverton bay
and the white sky fell on the old church bell
never tolled out christmas day

and the wind did moan and the trees did groan
on the banks of the tiverton bay
and the white sky fell on the old church bell
never tolled out christmas day

- brown bird
