A Gentle Song lyrics

I know a little church Standing lonely on a hillside It's cross was bent and broken Scratched and pitted By the cruel tide One learning man with one book Surveys the blue sky Did the sea banish God From his town Chorus Oh I can hear a sound A gentle sound it's All around me It takes me up and down All around me I know a little girl Standing lonely by the quayside Her hair was long and brown It came right down All around her All love fights Hate in her looks And in her sighs Still this girl Could Banish all But her heart Repeat Chorus
