I see your hand by your side
I take your hand bring you outside
To see the glory of the lights over astoria
Those pictures you mounted by the door
I can't give you what you had before
I can sing the gloria, the lights over astoria
I know you are alone, I know you can't come home
Bells ring, angels rush in
Through the town down the stair in the cold and the chilly air
The bells are ringing, children singing out of key
In debris, happy in the frost in the parking lots
The bells are ringing, children singing
Hey hey hey hey hey
I'll tell you about all the plans we made
Oh, in the thanksgiving day parade
And all the gloria of the lights over astoria
Your papa's hearing aids slowly grow
Your brother's voice suddenly got low
They've set a place for you, everyone's come home to you
You hold them all inside your chest the lonely and the blessed
The bells ring, angels rush in
Through the town down the stair in the cold and the chilly air
The bells are ringing, children singing out of key
In debris, happy in the frost in the parking lots
The bells were ringing, children singing
We missed you so long, we missed you so long
Welcome home again
We missed you so long, we missed you so long
Welcome home again
We missed you so long, we missed you so long
Welcome home
End
