Verse I It is ever so long since you went away, Over the homeland hills, And the bells in the steeple seem to say I will come back to you someday. Listen, listen and you shall hear. (Refrain) The faraway bells are ringing My thoughts of love and you; And the faraway bells are singing Their song of dreams come true. I'll be longing for you and waiting Alone 'neath the skies above, While the faraway bells are ringing Their faraway song of love. (Repeat refrain) Verse II I am wondering if at the close of day In the dusk of a thousand dreams, You will long for the chimes that used to be Calling to you across the sea, Calling, calling your heart to mine. (Refrain one time only) ----- Lyrics by Douglas Furber Music by Westell Gordon John McCormack did not sing the second verse on the record.
