[00:15.07]Far between sundown's finish an' midnight's broken toll
[00:22.54]We ducked inside the doorway, thunder crashing
[00:29.79]As majestic bells of bolts struck shadows in the sounds
[00:37.25]Seeming to be the chimes of freedom flashing
[00:44.78]Flashing for the warriors whose strength is not to fight
[00:52.26]Flashing for the refugees on the unarmed road of flight
[00:59.58]An' for each an' ev'ry underdog soldier in the night
[01:07.00][02:06.86][03:22.29]An' we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing
[01:14.72]Even though a cloud's white curtain in a far-off corner flared
[01:22.08]An' the hypnotic splattered mist was slowly lifting
[01:29.74]Electric light still struck like arrows, fired but for the ones
[01:37.29]Condemned to drift or else be kept from drifting
[01:44.80]Tolling for the searching ones, on their speechless, seeking trail
[01:52.14]For the lonesome-hearted lovers with too personal a tale
[01:59.39]An' for each unharmful, gentle soul misplaced inside a jail
[02:30.34]Starry-eyed an' laughing as I recall when we were caught
[02:37.34]Trapped by no track of hours for they hanged suspended
[02:44.93]As we listened one last time an' we watched with one last look
[02:52.64]Spellbound an' swallowed 'til the tolling ended
[03:00.14]Tolling for the aching whose wounds cannot be nursed
[03:07.52]For the countless confused, accused, misused, strung-out ones an' worse
[03:14.98]An' for every hung-up person in the whole wide universe
