Bells of '59

One afternoon

I heard a sound coming down.

Coming down, coming down to the ground (come down).

And when it came it took a piece of me away.

It took away, took away, took away (come down).

So coming down, coming down, coming down.

There’s a sound, there’s a sound coming down.

And in the night, in the night at first sight

Come the bells of 59.

Now in my soul there’s a song

I sing out.

I sing it out, sing it out, sing it out (sing out).

And to the beat

I feel my heart beat.

And then I breathe, then

I breathe, now

I breathe (breathe out).

So coming down, coming down, coming down.

There’s a sound, there’s a sound coming down.

And in the night, in the night at first sight

Come the bells of 59.

If one day

I cannot make it home,

Then let me go, let me go, let me go (let go).

And in my bones

I can feel the bells low.

Singing low, singing low, feel my soul (sing low).

So coming down, coming down, coming down.

There’s a sound, there’s a sound coming down.

And in the night, in the night at first sight

Come the bells of 59.

The bells of 59.
