One afternoon I heard a sound coming down.
Coming down, coming down to the ground (come down).
And when it came it took a piece of me away.

It took away, took away, took away (come down).

So coming down, coming down, coming down.

Theres a sound, theres a sound coming down.
And in the night, in the night at first sight
Come the bells of 59.


Now in my soul theres a song I sing out.
I sing it out, sing it out, sing it out (sing out).

And to the beat I feel my heart beat.
And then I breathe, then I breathe, now I breathe (breathe out).


So coming down, coming down, coming down.

Theres a sound, theres a sound coming down.

And in the night, in the night at first sight
Come the bells of 59.


If one day I cannot make it home,
Then let me go, let me go, let me go (let go).
And in my bones I can feel the bells low.

Singing low, singing low, feel my soul (sing low).

So coming down, coming down, coming down.

Theres a sound, theres a sound coming down.
And in the night, in the night at first sight
Come the bells of 59.


The bells of 59.
