Chorus:
Glastonbury, your halls have long since gone.
Glastonbury, your light no longer dawns,
And yet I've heard it said
That with the morning light
The echo of your bells comes from the night.
Seekers of peace lived in your halls,
Holy men, each responding to a call.
Their hearts and their love
Reached across the land
Working with hearts instead of their hands.
Chorus:
Down through the years, men's eyes grew dim,
And, in their wisdom, these holy men wrote a hymn,
A tune to be sung
With the coming of dawn
To see and feel the beauty of what has gone.
Chorus:
Now all is ruins, ruins and tree,
The abbey and its halls are now open to the breeze.
But Glastonbury's heart's still there
And it can never die.
To see it again, just sing this song and close your eyes.
Chorus:
