The Railway Children

A Gentle Song

The Railway Children


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
