The Bell Lyrics
Don't place your bets on me
I'm tired and I'm only
With nothing to offer you
Nothing to offer you
The pavement stares gray and cold
Our lives are a story told
Coming to an ending
It's coming to an ending
How could I turn around?
Face the sound of the bell that shines?
Ring it out, trim it out
To drag me back down
But I'm not coming home
Been out here for so long
The road just stretches on
Till I stop pretending
Till I stop pretending
But the world is an empty frame
And now you are just a name
I'll keep it that way
It's staying that way
How could I turn around?
Face the sound of the bell that shines?
Ring it out, trim it out
To drag me back down
But I'm not coming home
I tried hard to be brave
I tried hard not to be afraid
But trying wasn't enough
I tried hard to be brave
I tried hard not to be afraid
But trying wasn't enough
I'm sorry, I'm sorry
Can you hear the bell?
Can you hear the bell?
The bell, the bell
Can you hear the bell?
Can you hear the bell?
The bell, the bell
From the rust that lies deep in it's throat
I hear solemn tones
The danger, the absent floors
In the silence of night he lets me know
That I'm not coming home
I'm tired and I'm only
With nothing to offer you
Nothing to offer you
Our lives are a story told
Coming to an ending
It's coming to an ending
Face the sound of the bell that shines?
Ring it out, trim it out
To drag me back down
The road just stretches on
Till I stop pretending
Till I stop pretending
And now you are just a name
I'll keep it that way
It's staying that way
Face the sound of the bell that shines?
Ring it out, trim it out
To drag me back down
I tried hard not to be afraid
But trying wasn't enough
I tried hard not to be afraid
But trying wasn't enough
Can you hear the bell?
Can you hear the bell?
The bell, the bell
Can you hear the bell?
The bell, the bell
I hear solemn tones
The danger, the absent floors
In the silence of night he lets me know

Don't place your bets on me I'm tired and I'm only With nothing to offer you Nothing to offer you
The pavement stares gray and cold Our lives are a story told Coming to an ending It's coming to an ending
How could I turn around? Face the sound of the bell that chimes Ring it out, trim it out To drag me back down
But I'm not coming home
Been out here for so long The road just stretches on Till I stop pretending Till I stop pretending
But the world is an empty frame And now you are just a name I'll keep it that way It's staying that way
How could I turn around Face the sound of the bell that chimes Ring it out, trim it out To drag me back down
But I'm not coming home
I tried hard to be brave I tried hard not to be afraid But trying wasn't enough
I tried hard to be brave I tried hard not to be afraid But trying wasn't enough
I'm sorry, I'm sorry Can you hear the bell Can you hear the bell The bell, the bell
Can you hear the bell Can you hear the bell The bell, the bell
From the rust that lies deep in it's throat I hear solemn monotone tones The danger, the ebbs and the flows In the silence of night he lets me know
That I'm not coming home
