- Those Distant Bells Lyrics / with translationsThe car crunches gravel
And the wind looks at you
This dark spell you're under
As you're dumbstruck by the gates
It hurts every muscle
Just to walk back to the house
Now this home that you both lived
It looks haunted from the yard
You can hear those distant bells
And you know they'll never leave
It's like your church is crying out
Like the wolf calls to the young
The dark never enters
But it also never leaves
And the spark that he gave you
Is just an ember all but out
If he'd weren't out on the exit
Oh you never would've known
Until he drove off in the darkness
Like some slowly fading song
You can hear those distant bells
And you know they'll never leave
It's like your church is crying out
Like the wolf calls to the young
You can hear those distant bells
And you know they'll never leave
It's like your church is crying out
Like the wolf calls to the young
And the wind looks at you
This dark spell you're under
As you're dumbstruck by the gates
It hurts every muscle
Just to walk back to the house
Now this home that you both lived
It looks haunted from the yard
You can hear those distant bells
And you know they'll never leave
It's like your church is crying out
Like the wolf calls to the young
The dark never enters
But it also never leaves
And the spark that he gave you
If he'd weren't out on the exit
Oh you never would've known
Until he drove off in the darkness
Like some slowly fading song
You can hear those distant bells
And you know they'll never leave
It's like your church is crying out
Like the wolf calls to the young
You can hear those distant bells
And you know they'll never leave
It's like your church is crying out
Like the wolf calls to the young
