Song information
as the winter solstice approaches...

i wrote this melody in the mid 70's as a belated anti-war song, with entirely different lyrics (which i can't find anywhere, i guess i lost them, but they were trite, as i recall). the opening three notes are lifted from the US national anthem "The Star Spangled Banner".

sometime around 1990 or so, i did a MIDI version of it that i included on a cassette for friends of traditional Christmas songs that i had sequenced.

this version was made around 2007 or so. i posted it on macjams, and several people made their own versions of it. feel free to make your own version if you'd like.

Happy Holidays!

Lyrics
There's a bell in the valley
It sings to the wind
There's a bell in the valley
Where do i begin

This time i will listen
But will i hear the song

This night as i'm sleeping
A long, long way from home
I'm a long, long way from home


There's a voice in the valley
It speaks to my mind
There's a voice in the valley
It speaks to mankind

But who here is lis'ning
And hearing what it says

This night as we're dreaming
A long, long way from home
We're a long, long way from home
We're a long, long way from home
