The Bells Lyrics

I was born to the sound of a ringing bell A sound that had a tale to tell A tale that told of the time to come Time and the ringing bell As I grew strong they built the land Built with the labour of brain and hands The brain to plan, the hand to take The crystal from the sand One winters morning I was wed Became a man in a hotel bed The bells were ringing as we left the church Ringing in my head So ring out the bells So ring out the bells The years went past, a boy was born Champagne bubbled and suits were worn The older I get, the deeper in debt Dusk gets nearer than dawn So ring out the bells So ring out the bells What you've never had you'll never miss But what you've always had's like a deadly kiss I had a wish, I had a time Between the chimes of the bells So ring out the bells So ring out the bells
