Analysis of Echos In The Distance.



In the distance bells are ringing,
What a lovely sound,
Quietly I am waiting,
Sitting upon the ground,

Natures beauty radiant,
Such wonders I can see,
This is where my darling,
I fell in love with thee,

My restless mind now quiet,
My tears are gone away,
A smile lays upon my lips,
On this lovely day,

The bells ring in the distance,
Echos beautifully,
Oh my darling love,
Please now come to me.
