Lyrics
[verse]
In a town where the chimneys touched the sky
And the choir sang like they never asked why
We were children of the smoke and stone
Never knowing any other home
[chorus]
Ah, life in a quiet northern town
Ah, the church bells ringing all around
Ah, the winters long, the summers brief
And the faces that I still believe
[verse]
The old men gathered by the corner store
Telling stories from a hundred wars
The kids ran wild along the frozen creek
While the mill horn called the end of week
[chorus]
Ah, life in a quiet northern town
Ah, the church bells ringing all around
Ah, the winters long, the summers brief
And the faces that I still believe
[bridge]
Some of us left for the brighter lights
Some of us stayed through the coldest nights
But wherever the years have carried me
That town still lives inside of me
[chorus]
Ah, life in a quiet northern town
Ah, the church bells ringing all around
Ah, the winters long, the summers brief
And the faces that I still believe
