Sarah Jarosz - Ring Them Bells |
|
Ring them bells ye heathen from |
|
the city that dreams |
|
Ring them bells from |
|
the sanctuaries cross the valleys and streams |
|
For they're deep and they're wide |
|
And the world on its side |
|
And time is running backwards |
|
And so is the bride. |
|
Ring them bells Saint Peter where |
|
the four winds blow |
|
Ring them bells with an ironhand |
|
So the people will know |
|
For it's rush hour now |
|
On the wheel and the plow |
|
And the sun is going down upon the sacred cow. |
|
Ring them bells Sweet Martha for |
|
the poor man's son |
|
Ring them bells so the world will know |
|
that God is one |
|
Oh the shepherd is asleep |
|
Where the willows weep |
|
And the mountains are filled with lost sheep |
|
Ring them bells for the blind and the deaf |
|
Ring them bells for all of us who are left |
|
Ring them bells for the chosen few |
|
Who will judge the many when |
|
the game is through |
|
Ring them bells for the time that flies |
|
For the child that cries |
|
When the innocence dies. |
|
Ring them bells Saint Catherine |
|
from the top of the room |
|
Ring them from the fortress |
|
for the lilies that bloom |
|
Oh the lines are long |
|
and the fighting is strong |
|
And they're breaking down |
|
the distance between right and wrong. |
